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 about to give my notice at a firm I’ve been at for the majority of my legal career. They’ve recently offered me non-equity partnership (which I’ve accepted), w equity partnership on the horizon. However, I’ve been annoyed with their way of running the business and getting between me and my earnings far too long; and I received a lucrative offer to go in-house. I’m not looking forward to their reaction and feel bad about them having to take over my docket when everyone’s very busy. Any tips?
