Hey, shoot your shot, but in my personal experience hiring out of fedgov (think banking/securities), biglaw is not clamoring for this talent, and certainly isn't paying top dollar for it.  And for those who do make the jump, it is more like a $600K counsel role with a wait-and-see approach to partnership. or a NEP track (whcih is the same thing, different title).

$600k is still 3x higher than what feds are earning.[/quote]

Yes, but it will require 20 more hours per week, which will feel like 10x current effort.  Don't underestimate how significant the emotional transiiton is due to significantly different pace, expectations, and the winner-take-all profitibility model of biglaw.   [/quote]

PP (same poster).  Look, not trying to dissuade anyone.  I made this move over 20 years ago and it worked out very well for me.    Just go into it eyes wide open, especially if you have a family.  IME, the biglaw spouse/partner cannot (or does not) contribute equally, so just have a frank discussion with your spouse/partner about how biglaw will invade pretty much every aspect of your current family set up.
