The only reason i'm thinking about moving is to be able to handle higher quality, higher quantum work. I'm talking about the kind of cases which would change the law as we know it -rather than just run of the mill high court cases, which i already handle on a daily basis.
I'm just wondering - is it worth it?

Cases that "change the law as we know it" are not that uncommon. Anything that goes to the SGCA and doesn't get thrown out immediately as garbage has a chance of "changing the law as we know it". I don't think you need to go to a "big" firm to get that exposure. And even if you do, you need to land in the right team because "big" firms means a lot of wrong teams to end up in. So if you're not getting a pay bump I'd say reconsider.
