Talking to Akerman, H&K, Berger. H&K pays the most but they ask for my soul. Berger pay sucks, and Akerman is better but not H&K. WLB and longterm career prospects are important to me. Any insight on how to make this call?

H&K. Idk your financial situation or what office you’re interviewing for, but they’re paying market in miami. Your hours requirements are going to be similar across all three firms. Might as well get payed market money for market hours.

What practice area

Are you sure that H&K is asking for anything different than Akerman or Berger?

Practice area and location is important. How’d you narrow to those 3? Lateral or first year position?

It would be a lateral position. Those are the firms in my area.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?

When did you know your firm wasn't right for you? I'm not sure if it's just the stress of being a new attorney with a family or if my job isn't the right fit. I work in civil litigation and am consistently below my billables. I can't stay late because my kids need me and I can't work on the weekends because I have to maintain my house and take care of my kids. I'm being constantly told to work harder, stay later, etc but it's not practical. Or am I not approaching this with the right mindset?
