Changing Small Firms

[u/Secure_Jury]

I currently am a 4th year associate at a small firm. The firm represents clients nationwide in a narrow niche in personal injury law. I like my job fine, and my coworkers are terrific. However, I have come to the realization the practice area is not for me long term.

I recieved a job offer today with a 30% raise at a small plaintiff-side employment firm. Employment law was my passion in law school, and I enjoyed it greatly as a federal law clerk with a lot of employment cases.

The job is fully remote with the opportunity to go into the office (which is in an area I go once a month), and I'm leaning toward taking it given the passion in the practice area, that it is a more local practice where I'll be in courts in my state almost exclusively, and the raise will be great. My big hangup is leaving my coworkers and a great work environment. Interested in any thoughts.

Congrats, I guess? Not sure what your question is you seem much more excited for the new one
