Sorry if this is covered already and anon because the information would probably identify me. I'm a current lit midlevel/senior at a large mostly corporate firm in major market -- the work I'm doing is essentially the exact same that I'm doing as a junior and I feel like I'm not given any meaningful or substantive development opportunities. I'm not even really looped in or involved in strategy, so I'd really describe myself as an overpaid scribe.
I'm pretty miserable and am looking to leave as soon as possible -- among other things, I'm considering litigation boutiques (thinking in the 10-30 range or thereabouts). Fellow biglaw lit refugees who have gone to smaller firms for more substantive experience/skill development, what has your experience been? Do you regret it?
