After law school, I worked at a “boutique” law firm (i.e., a small law firm that paid like crap and worked you big law hours) and then moved in-house. I have realized that I now work the same hours as my big law friends, have much less job satisfaction than they do (yes, that is possible), and make less money than they do. Now, I have the opportunity to go big law in an area I currently practice in. I’m considering taking the opportunity. What should I be thinking about?
