Is there a best level to switch out of PA? Like S1 vs M1. Is there a reason to stay in PA longer? I have heard people say you should stay till M1 so you have more options.

M1 doesn’t give you more options. Generally it’s the opposite because your so expensive. I think senior is the level with the most opportunity but you will probably jump into a position that you will be stuck at for a while. Whereas if you find a position as manager, you are going to be making good money

like

Regarding money, if you make the move while you’re S1, make sure the pay raise is enough so that you’re comfortable for the next few years. And when you feel ready for a big increase in pay you can always move to another company (unless you get promoted within)

Senior is the best time to leave. You haven't priced yourself out of the market

Anyone lateraled at the 2-4 year mark from boutique (40ish lawyers, corporate lit work on same level as biglaw, making top NY pay) to v100? Can you say anything about the experience? The reason I’m considering is while boutique is generally a good place for me as an associate (NY pay, reasonable WLB, good experience on many fronts) there’s basically zero shot at making partner.
