Should I leave my L&E boutique for a full service firm’s new office? It’s a huge pay bump but worried about joining a newly established office. My current firm is comfortable and my review was fine, so not necessarily itching to get out. But am 4–5 y/o of law school and worried about missing the lateral window.

You could always go back to your old firm if things don’t work out at the new firm if you leave on good terms.

Is that realistic? I feel like you leave and the bridge is burned…

Consider the partnership prospects at both firms. Sometimes it can be hard for an L&E associate to make partner at a full service firm because L&E is commoditized.

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
