Op here. Woah, that’s a new term. What are those? I’m a current mid-level and former fed clerk but can’t say I’ve ever heard of lit funding jobs.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:32 pmLook at litigation funding jobs. It's better than in-house litigation and way better paid than gov't work.
Was coming here to say look at boutiques. The hours aren't as good as government hours, but in my experience way better than big law. Also the work can be more interesting depending on your area of litigation.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:57 pmGo to a litigation boutique that is known for having humane hours. Like Patterson Belknap in New York.
Yeah, that thought has crossed my mind. The problem is I’m in a non-NYC market where there aren’t as many of those. Still, good point.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 2:04 pmWas coming here to say look at boutiques. The hours aren't as good as government hours, but in my experience way better than big law.

OP here. I appreciate the sincerity. Honestly, I like being a lawyer (and specifically a litigator), but I can’t stand the Biglaw nonsense (pointless deadlines, partners pushing their mistakes onto associates, you get the idea). I’ve thought about adjuncting, since I have something of an education background, but I have no interest in becoming a full-time law professor (I also don’t have the resume for that). Really, I just want to do what I currently do for decent pay but without all the pointless stress.
I know the TLS conventional wisdom is that all biglaw firms are the same, but my honest advice would be to consider a lateral move. There are deadlines everywhere, but not necessarily pointless ones, and I don't think a partner has ever pushed their mistakes onto me, so, again, you might be able to get what you want at a different firm.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 3:50 pm

Do you really think one person describing a "slight paycut" for a hybrid role answers my question about the salary for a midlevel lateraling to one of these firms? I'm looking for numbers and you're either trolling or incapable of helping.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 12:11 pmviewtopic.php?f=23&t=311574&p=10500124& ... #p10500086Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 12:00 pmSorry if I'm missing something, but I don't see any salary numbers in there.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 11:43 amviewtopic.php?f=23&t=311574&p=10500124& ... #p10500124Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 11:13 ambumpAnonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 3:09 pmWhat's the typical salary range for a midlevel lateralling to one of these firms?Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 2:49 pmHere are three to get you started:Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:48 pm
