throwawaymypaycheque

As a corporate lawyer working in a boutique firm with a cushy 9 to 5 and fat pay check, I often get these urges to quit and start my own legal practice. I am almost 30, have very little contacts to enable me to build a client base fast, am kind of well off financially and am single, so no kids to feed or educate (yet). What would you do if you were me?

Edit: Thank you OP and everyone else for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I guess im not very satisfied with where I am in life, except the money. Lets see where life takes me, but I guess quitting my job right now doesnt seem to be the obvious answer! Cheers!

unless you've got strong connections or am already a partner at your current practice?

Nope and nope. Thing is, im comfortable financially and dont really need to worry about money too much^{thankthelord.} So im wondering is it better to continue to be here, or to start putting my efforts from today into my private practice..
