I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…
It’s no secret that Florida has become a major financial center and in legal terms “a major market.”
Many large firms with offices down there have started to pay New York compensation(!) and are drawing a huge influx from Northeast talent.
With its big banks, tech companies, entrepreneurs & crypto companies, if you’ve ever considered moving there, now’s the time…
According to a recent “Above the Law,” article, many Biglaw firms are opening shops there including Kirkland & Ellis, Quinn Emanuel, King & Spalding and more.
Something to think about…
All other variables aside, could your chances of advancing be better in New York (a super saturated market) or Miami/Palm Beach (up and coming)?
My guess is if you have the opportunity to be a big fish in a smaller pond, you’re ultimately giving yourself a leg up, long-term.
Just some food for thought, but if I’ve gotten you thinking, please don’t hesitate to send me a message and we can see if a move to the Sunshine state makes sense for you.
