biglaw partner is much more stable, so i vote for that. shitlaw king has to constantly be hustling and advertising, whereas a corporate book is relatively stable.

Shitlaw king still needs to produce to keep paying his employees and keep his wife from leaving him
Also it’s Easier to slack when you have an institutional book and t14 associates and service partners

Based on CSLG’s light staff before he got really successful, even A shitlaw king netting 2m with a light staff probably has one associate and several paralegals / intake people and has a payroll of several hundred. Shitlawyers can clarify.

Shitlaw king here but I've spent some time around biglolyers both personally and professionally.
I think what xoxo misses often is that the skillset and personality types are just wildly different. Shitlaw kings aren't risk averse. I'm one of the least risk averse ppl i know and having my neck on the line (in a way) on any given case stimulates me.
Most of my buddies in biglaw believe contingency is insanely risky and would stress non stop about getting paid, not fucking up some retarded motion or discovery, etc. For those ppl, shitlawing would be incredibly stressful, scary, unpredictable.
For me, biglaw would be literal hell. I have very little patience for "the majesty of the law", or the "scholarship". I like the hustle and I much prefer talking to my prole clients as opposed to corpo clients.
My machine is fairly well established and while I'm nowhere close to CSLG I'm making close to or above 1 mil a year relatively consistently with not a ton of work... (I am home by 6 every day and i very very rarely do any work from home).

cr
i'm a smooth talking, risk taking prole with a sales background. biglaw was not for me. i bought that lie that high stakes bet-the-company lit would be suitable to my personality type but it turns out it's just a bunch of neurotic faggots hyperventilating over commas in routine discovery motions. i can't stand most biglawyers whereas almost all shitlawyers are chill.
but it's really a difference of personality and outlook. nebbish prestige-obsessed autists (i.e. most of xo) are suitable for biglaw and probably would not enjoy hanging out with fratty shitlawmos.

seems like the shitlaw king would be his own boss, wouldn't have to put up with bullshit from other biglaw "partners," etc. I doubt a shitlaw king stresses too much about "contingency" fee risks - it probably averages out pretty well (with some big pops here and there) with a legit PI mill with lots of cases.
Also in Atlanta, there are literal shitlaw king groupies out there. Not flame, i've seen it happen. Example - Watched old as fuck Alexander Shunnarah (Alabama shitlaw king doing business in Atlanta) take a PI medical office "marketing girl" home from a night club and everyone gossiped about it after.
