[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So that is the other wrinkle: I would have a much better shot at going in-house from this law firm position than the gov't position I'm currently in. Worst-case scenario it's a stepping stone to in-house. It's people there who told me -- there are a ton of laterals, and they said they could be making more elsewhere but the culture and work/life balance is better. The BigLaw points are well taken though.. at the end of the day it comes down to profits based on rates x hours which doesn't leave much wiggle room. The cautionary tales are helpful, thanks y'all.[/quote] I’ve been at 4 different firms and truly—they were all wildly different from one another about all this stuff. I know of one firm in town where I think you could really get what you’re looking for, so I’m guessing there are others too. It just might not be easy to know going in if you found the diamond in the rough or not. It’s certainly worth a try. [/quote]
