Poster seems to know the two types of guys and girls

But really this is so true:

Depends on how much money the EP brings in ba. Generally should bring in close to 150-200k at least, the more outstanding litigators can top 300k easily.

Corp practice can bring in more in boom times but can be irregular depending on deal flow.

Liti is usually steady n sometimes even counter cyclical.

Top liti EPs can earn as much as the top corp EPs. But average liti team billings are lower than corp team billings. It's simply a function of liti work which is usually lower margin.

Any advice for switching TC from seniors? Regarding the process and possible burning of bridges with the current form you’re with? Thinking of switching firms during my TC now but afraid of what’s to come

Firms try to scare you into not leaving because it's hard for them to find trainees (especially the smaller firms). However, remember that you should do what's best for you, the same way that the firm will do what's best for them.

The concept of "Burning bridges" is complete nonsense, most lawyers know the legal fraternity is rather small, and they'd rather have a happy junior lawyer who sings their praises than make an enemy for nothing (since if you asked to leave, you're leaving whether or not you get their blessing).

Just remember, they may threaten you with the TC contract or some break-clause term (i.e. penalty clauses for leaving), but most (if not all) of the stuff in such employment/TC contracts are not enforceable, so you don't need to worry.

However, when you leave, be respectful, tell them you want to go to this other firm because of xxx or yyy reasons (that your current firm can't fulfil) and thank them.

This is especially important if you want to count the currently performed period (for example if you already did 2 out of 6 mths) in your TC, as you need to ask the current TC firm to sign off. Similarly, if you want to count certain work performed (for your TC checklist), you need to ask the firm to sign off.

Obviously, if you don't intend to use any TC period/work performed from your previous firm, you can just leave without much issue.
