Anyone have any insight on whether its possible to get a Florida biglaw job out of law school even if I didn’t do 2L summer at a big law firm? I am currently a 2L summer associate at a AM200 defense firm (not big law obviously), but I feel like I want to try and reach out maybe after my 3L Fall semester to try and get interviews at certain FL big firms (Gunster, H&K, GT). I am 100% going to live in West Palm Beach, so I was wondering if anyone has insight on big firms in WPB.

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
