[quote=Anonymous]My biglaw firm focused on litigation, so I do not know if this is transferrable to corporate. But, if I had it to do over again I would have left after 2 years and gone to the government, then considered returning later. Starting around my 6th year, I noticed that most of the people making partner had been hired as laterals, as opposed to having 'worked their way up' from a junior associate. I left because I was not confident that the firm would give me the experience I would need to make partner (they made promises but it seemed like too much of a gamble). Almost everyone I know who started at a firm after law school has left biglaw, but a large percentage of people who started in the public sector and then went to biglaw as 'of counsel' and later became partners have stayed. I don't want to go back, because I enjoy the lifestyle of my current job. But I wonder if I'd have been happy to go back to a firm if I had left earlier in my career.[/quote]
