I’m going to go ahead and say none of them ... but how far are you into your career? Are you open to switching practice groups ? I’d say look for places where leadership in your practice groups has good representation in terms of POC/women. I feel like all law firms are varying degrees of terrible at this, but having partnership within my former practice group outside of just the standard white male (in addition to the usual be twice as good and expect half the recognition) was a big help with feeling supported and heard, getting good work etc.
I’m a third-year NY litigation attorney with mostly big law experience. I’ve taken gaps here and there and am actively applying to in-house positions, but the longer I go without a new job, the more inclined I am to go back to BigLaw. I just don’t know if I’ll be able to last longer than a year or two in a firm if it doesn’t have good Black women leadership.

Following. I'm contemplating of switching firms but I feel like the devil you know is better.
