Big law associate and it isn’t even close. The only exception is if you were the owner of the insurance defense firm and sole equity partner.
I am an insurance defense partner. A lot of work but when I decide work is over for the day, it’s over. Very rare to spend free time angsting over work (and usually if I do, it has to do with a boss/coworker being a jerk rather than the work itself).

Depends on the quality of life you want. I know big law associates that work 7 days a week. I know insurance defense partners that make good money and travel 6 weeks a year.
Very personal choice.

Equity Partner? I have no desire to go to BigLaw but if I had to pick between those two (and retirement isn’t an option?) I’d choose ID Partner if equity and BigLaw associate otherwise.
Both sound awful, but I imagine big law associate has better exit options.
Neither
Insurance companies set partner rates too. The rates don’t reflect knowledge, skill, experience or years of practice.
Tough to choose being an ID partner (with all the extra work that entails) but to be earning less than a mid-level big law associate.
Yeah the problem is some entry level big law attorneys make more than ID partners. Hard to stomach.

My dad’s an insurance defense partner. I’m a corporate associate at an NYC V10. The two are related! ID is a rough industry where you can get hosed. Biglaw kicks you around, but the firms don’t implode or miss paychecks. It’s also better for exit ops. But my dad has weekends, so there is that!
I became a lawyer to practice law for a living, so obviously ID partner.
