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.

Does anyone regret joining a boutique consulting firm? I signed with a startup out of college (spring 2020) whose founding partners were all partners/Sr leaders at a few T2s. Our firm is super small (dozen FTEs) but does really good work (we charge premium rates and work super cool projects). I’m just having second thoughts as exit opportunities aren’t as prevalent as I thought, the pay/benefits don’t match industry/risk of joint a startup, and I’m not getting the network of a Big4 or MBB

I do insurance defense and I HATE it. All I do is defend small businesses against slip and fall cases. I'm being pressured by an attorney family member (who also does ID) to switch to Plaintiff's work at a firm like Morgan & Morgan. He says it's better and I'll earn more. Those who have made the same switch - is the grass really greener? I have zero interest in Plaintiff's work and I've always avoided it but the money and the career advancement is being pushed on me
