In currently at a firm where the work is somewhat stable but it is basically impossible to make partner. Though they do let you hang hang around as an of counsel for years and years as long as you're busy (and you have to hustle to stay busy). I'm in a niche practice area. There is a partner I my practice group who isn't that busy and is going to leave. Should I go with him to a smaller/lower ranked firm? I assume the partnership track would be better, but that there would also be a greater chance of totally running out of work and getting fired. Any advice?
I'd prefer to go in house in the long run, which I assume is easier from V5, but the in house options in my practice area suck (200k would be the best you could hope for, 170k is probably more realistic). So I am coming to realize I may be law firm or bust.

I think you should stay put.
a) they don't seem to push out of counsels (which is a trend in BIGLAW nowadays)
b) you barely get work from that guy
c) small firms are less stable than big firms
d) you can make a lot more money (most likely) at current firm... so just sock it away in a rainy day fund.
