[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what Vault range is your firm? Is the small firm that contacted you made up of biglaw refugees (ie., a "boutique")? If you are at a V5 (Skadden, for instance), you should be able to easily lateral to a lower V100 firm. If you are at a sub-V50, it may be harder for you to lateral. Small firm may or may not be a good option. The risk there is that it's biglaw hours, nearly as much certainty for making partner, and significantly less money. Or it could be completely great. [/quote] If it is a true boutique firm (big law refugees was a good way to put it) then it should pay market or slightly below market. Suss out the firm culture somehow, it could be truly pleasant and collegial in a way big law never is or could be toxic. Many small firms are healthier work environments. If it is a small firm that isn't boutique, then don't do it. [/quote]
