u/Firm-Ad8904

I am a patent litigator with only 2 years of experience in litigation, but with a background of ten years at law firms doing patent prosecution. I am considering moving from a V100 firm to a small litigation boutique to do patent litigation, or alternatively to go to an in house role at a large fortune 100 company as a senior counsel for IP. I have two young children (1 and 3) and would like to have as balanced of a life as possible, but also maximize my lifelong earnings.

Which role should I go to and why? This post is not seeking any legal advice, just career advice.
