[quote=Anonymous]Though it's hard - think about it in terms of substantive experience, not partnership. The experience is what gives you options down the road - whether it's partnership at your current firm, a different firm, in-house, a policy position etc. Do you think you'd get better trial experience at DOJ or as a biglaw junior? (I think the answer is obvious.) Partnership is such a long and tenuous process that you can't plan for it so early. Even if you were at DOJ for 4 yrs and then went biglaw, that is not a guarantee that you'd make partner in year 8-9 -- it depends on who you end up working for, the state of the firm's business, your business generating potential, and frankly just the politics. There could be chosen favorites who have been "in" for years or for some hot-shot lateral that comes in over you etc. Don't short-change yourself out of experience because of a hope of partnership years from now. Of course, if it's a money issue, biglaw is the way to go.[/quote]
