I want to lateral from the boutique firm I am currently at to big law. Went to a T-20, but never did a summer associate role at a law firm due to personal circumstances as a 2L. I’m currently having to bill 2K hours so an upside is that I’ve been able to do a lot of things as an A1. Is making this jump unrealistic? I’ve received some advice to network and cold email partners/ recruiters at these firms, but how could I stand out in a sea of messages?

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?
