Why would you work for M&A RWI insurer

Assuming the question is about working at an insurer, my understanding is that RWI absolutely prints money for the insurers because claims that actually burn through the retention are relatively rare. Which makes sense because they’re insuring something that has been pretty thoroughly vetted by lawyers and third party advisors on both sides of the deal

And ask the dumbest questions known to man and to be the most universally hated group of attorneys (are they even?!) not worth the paper their diplomas are printed on. Obviously

I represented RWI insurers on hundreds of deals. Horrible, mind numbing, egregiously time demanding job. The RWI underwriters though make pretty good money.

It pays well and the WLB is generally better than big law.

Think it generally pays better than most in house jobs with moderately better WLB. Still deal work so not 9-5.

Additional Posts in Big Law

Mid 2020, I turned down an opportunity to jump ship from my small law firm to a big law firm. At the time I had 4 years of practice under my belt with managerial experience. I thought the offer was reasonable, come in at a 2nd year level, but with the uncertainty of the times I played it safe. Now I regret it. What avenues do I have, if any, to jump into big law from a small firm?

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
