I’m a pregnant senior associate thinking about lateraling (to a lower ranked firm) for better opportunities/partnership prospects because I feel like I have no future at my current firm and get crappy work. Obviously there are a lot of reasons to stay put until after my mat leave, but feeling like I’m in a dead end job is taking a real mental toll. Just validating that it’s so hard to know what the right decision is.
It depends. Why would you want to lateral? More money? Better team? Clients? Do you know anyone at the new firm? Also, starting over and trying to get pregnant is alot. You have to prove yourself again and you don't want to be working long long hours and trying to get pregnant.
