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]

3 times the money buys a lot of comfort.[/quote]

PP.  yes, it does.   And that was my primary motivator for making the jump and it worked out for me.  But I was able to grind it out and build a practice. And I have a DW who was fully on board with the commitment and the collateral consequences.  We have 3 kids.  I miss some of their events, I’m not always available to help with homework or other school things.  I take calls during drop off and while driving to (and sometimes at) their sports events.   I’ve never been on a vacation where I haven’t had some work emergency I had to take care of (by stepping away from whatever event or vacation thing we were doing).

Yes, the money made a huge difference, but the cost might not be worth it to everyone.  Figure that part out for yourself, then best of luck whichever way you choose. [/quote]
