There are quite a few big firms who will pay NY market rate. South Florida is a good market to be in because the big firm offices tend to be on the smaller side (for those big firms) which also means the culture tends to be easier to manage (from my personal experience at a big firm in Miami)

Happy to discuss if you want to PM

What practice area?

I do most of this in Miami. Feel free to shoot me a DM.

What city are you looking at? Feel free to DM me if Tampa.

I prefer South Florida but I’m open to Tampa.

In a similar boat 7 years in NY relocating to south Florida. Went to law school and admitted in Fl but majority of practice in NY. Plaintiff personal injury.
