Going solo is a good option for losers like chandler in insurance defense or otherwise already in shitlaw. If you have the pedigree for biglaw you’d be wasting it, it gives you zero advantage in the solo market. You’re comparative advantage is in the corporate law world, not in personal injury.

If I made 150-200k as a solo it'd be a huge success

If a biglaw guy went solo and made 150-200k it'd be a huge salary drop

That's the difference.

I know an ex-biglaw guy who went solo. He was able to snag a few companies (too small for inhouse counsel but sophisticated enough to shop for a good lawyer) to do their contracts, intern hr stuff, and their commercial litigation. In one case an attorney near retirement got him one of his commercial clients. The prestige does matter in the commercial litigation circles.

I went T10 law school -> biglaw and hated it. I was incredibly depressed. Now I'm solo and make about as much as a midelvel biglawmo but have no boss. I work about the same number of hours, but I can work at home or from wherever I want and spend time with my kids after pre-school/school. I still dislike law itself but it's 1000000x better than biglaw.

Having a boss is for neutered low-t "men."

the point is a little subtler, that the t10 degree is "wasted" in the solo realm because you're clients wouldn't care if you went to a t10 or a literal TTTT. Maybe it helps you get referrals from lawyers who are impressed by your background but you've definitely given up the comparative advantage.
