I just received an offer to join a AmLaw25 firm in the patent litigation group after a recruiter reached out. I didn’t apply to any other firms. Are there any openings for a counsel level position right now? West Coast or remote. I’d like to have at least another option, as I’m waffling on whether to make this move.

Counsel positions are few and far between for laterals - if you want to leave your current firm, I’d suggest accepting.
Although the market is moving, it’s a law firms market.
Additionally - no peer firm will move quick enough to meet your other offer deadline.
Hope this helps.

This. Hard to know about strength of offer without more info but you can't expect any other firm to be able to catch up unless they have a really strong need that makes vacation schedules secondary, etc.

Tough to get to an offer stage quickly and keeping this offer firm waiting is likely only sustainable for so long. I’d talk through the offer with people you trust to help evaluate if it makes sense for you at this point in your career compared to staying in your current position.

I’m torn between 2 offers. One as a Managing Consultant at a boutique talent consulting firm and one as a Talent/OD Lead in industry. My long term goal is to become a Director/VP one day. People are telling to go for the industry role then but I kind of still want to be in consulting for a few more years. Will it be harder for me to make the switch later to a more senior role in HR from consulting than to climb the ranks at one company?
