Okay...here goes: I’m not sure if I just want to leave my firm or private practice altogether? For those of you who have contemplated leaving private practice, how did you finally come to realize that that was really what made sense for you, as opposed to just switching firms?

You need to consider what you aren’t happy with. Is it the people you work with or the work itself? The work itself won’t change, but it might be a lot less burdensome if you like the people you do it with. Are you considering going in house or leaving the practice of law entirely? I have seen many in house realize that the grass isn’t actually greener and they are working the same amount, just for less money.
