Law Firm vs. In House
First year attorney here at a small corporate law firm that overworks me, partner is abusive, and on top of that I get paid $90k a year in CA.
Looking at two offers right now:
(1) More reputable but still boutique sized firm (about 40 attorneys), billable target is 1800 but I have heard from others that I will work more, 200k
(2) In house entertainment role, 150k, likely more work life balance but no guarantee
My experience prior to my current job is in commercial contracts for entertainment, media, tech, etc. I like this practice area as well as corporate. The main issue with my current situation is burnout -- I just want to be able to exercise most days, eat a meal with my family, and walk my dog.
Does anyone have similar experience and can shed some light on the decision they made/how it worked out for them?
