To reiterate EY1, larger network for connectivity but also the larger network for resources and expertise. Something a number of my colleagues who left to smaller consulting firms complain about is not having an immediate contact to reach out to for a specific subject matter.

I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise
