Hi, quick results from my survey (just overnight, I can provide an update later if you want).
The question was: At what point in your career did you go solo?
Looks like the majority of lawyers went solo at Year 1-2, followed by 5-7.
My question also asked why/if there was something that caused it.
Granted, my group is women attorneys only, so a lot of the responses where a specific event caused them to go solo involved being forced to work during maternity leave and/or being fired around the time that they were pregnant/having kids.
Others commented that they wanted out of Biglaw, they became board-certified in their field, and/or realized no one was supervising them/they had their own book of business at that point (5-7 year mark).
Hope this was helpful!
It was 31 comments and 145 poll results total. There are 8,200+ members in this specific group, so more responses will roll in over the next day or so.
I'm also part of a solo group (even though I'm not a solo, but it's helpful I think) with about 6,600 members.
If there's anything else I can do to help with those resources, let me know. Thanks!
