PSA: The grass is greener in a regional firm if you can lateral over as a partner. I lateralled over last year and my billable expectation is only 1700. I have my own clients and make about 100k (after bonus) more than I did as a senior associate. The upside is probably capped because top equity partners probably make 1.5 to 2 million here but it is all worth it for the WLB. I only take on what I want to do and I help out other partners only when I feel like it.

Did you bring clients or develop them once in you got to the regional?

Also, mind sharing your practice area? I’m a biglaw junior in corp. In my market, there are a lot of strong regional firms. I’m considering making the jump from biglaw to regional in a few years for the WLB and to bring in clients. A lot of potential clients in my market are priced out of my firm.

I am in finance and came over with a few small clients that I have grown into bigger clients. The clients I have are all at lower rates than my previous firm allowed but I got special permission to service them before I left. To be clear, the training and connections, I got at my previous firm are the only reason this move worked. In fact, all of my clients are former colleagues that went in house and are either directly giving me work or are referring me work. So be nice to your cohort before trying to leave big law.

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding?

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
