I am currently working for a solo lawyer. While I love my job, I often wonder if it is the right move to stay in such a small office (it is just myself and the attorney). Part of me thinks that it is good because I can honestly say that I run the office without help from supportive staff or upper managment, but part of me also thinks that if in the future I deceide to change jobs (as might be necessary - boss is looking towards retirement) that a larger firm would not look so highly on small firm experience. What is your take on this? Just for further info - I have been working at this job for 3 years. Prior to that I was with a mid-sized firm for 2 yrs and a solo practitioner for 1 yr prior to that. My ultimate goal is to become an attorney, so I am further confused if it would be worth the change as this is not going to be my career (I mean being a secretary/ofc mgr).
By the way, what would be the going salary for someone with my experience in a larger metropolis (i.e. DC or SF)?
