I know he's had trainees and assocs in the past who've "stolen" clients from him so he's been burned before. I am pretty content with my small firm life so i present a safe option. I have a thing against establishments and have never applied to a big4/biggish firm. My rents still think i've made some stupid decisions with my career.
Good for you! Nowadays big law firms have lost its allure. Heard of lawyers with a few years of experience content with setting up one man shop doing smaller cases but having more work life balance, more freedom and happiness.

When I start work I realise you cannot equate happiness with money. Although unhappiness can be absolved with money, albeit slightly.
