Kind of always wanted to do this...P's side seems like a better/work life balance because they don't care about producing perfect documents every time and I am generally a greedy MF so I think I would fit right in...thoughts? I have a connection to the managing partner at the best P's firm in town so I could easily make the switch...other option is just go work at another big firm, but the thought of doing the same shit in a different office across the street makes me sad

keep that in mind

in tech we dont give a shit. we hired back one highly rated engineer who quit and literally opened a restaurant that flamed out after couple of years. didnt even interview him when he came back

i know it's a marvel to lol students, but firms want good shitttigators who know how the opponents operate, and doing p's work and being good at it means you can still go back to biglol at some point

you're almost never shut out of a job except for legit talent reasons

the only reason lol studenst don't get this is because one of the only exceptions to the talent/name bullshit is that biglol cares almost nothing about talent when they hire associates

You don't even need any of that. Just try getting clients first...worry about the actual legal work later.

If you can't get clients, whatever experience you have at a plaintiffs firm won't even matter.

Well when you get the talk you are not yet officially fired. The firm basically tells you that they don't want you around, but are willing to keep you employed for another x months until you find another job. During the interview you just make up bs regarding why you want to make a move, e.g., want to work on different type of cases, more responsibility etc.

I don't do that type of work, but have a lot of bros who do and I'm very knowledgeable about smaller firms as opposed to biglaw. Most of these places will love your T20 degree and biglaw experience. If you're a confident lit bro you'll do great. You probably write better than half the partners at the shitlaw firm, but don't get completely bogged down in motions if you want to maek it one day. I don't know what kind of depo experience you have coming out of biglaw, but build that up and get as much experience as you can doing depos and arguing motions, second chairing trials etc. once you hit the ground running in shitlaw.
