In virtually every practice area, yes. I have practiced in both.

Yes. Texas is essentially a Tier 1 legal market. Florida is catching up but isn’t there yet, Miami is the biggest legal market in the state but it’s still lagging slightly behind Dallas/Houston

Not even close for corporate work. IMO for Corporate:
NY >> Chicago / Houston / LA / SF > Boston > DC >>> ATL / Dallas / MIA / PHL >>>> Austin / Denver / San Diego / Seattle

There’s going to be some that disagree but this is my experience.

Yes.

Yes. Virtually every major firm has an office here, including the nationwide boutique firms. There are also Texas-based firms with an outsized national presence. Texas is also UBE, so you have more freedom to move around early in practice.

How soon would be too soon to leave a first job? I’ve recently started my first job with a small firm and have enjoyed the people and the work. However, my pay is based on what I bill. At first this sounded fine, as my billing rate is very good and I take home a third of what I bill. But there has been so little work for me to actually do that I’m beginning to worry this isn’t financially feasible long term. Thoughts?
