Big-name vs no-name agencies: Is these much difference when it comes to job satisfaction?

No not really. One will bring you more money and sexier clients but both can be satisfying if you work with people who value you as a person and go out of their way to make sure you are happy at wok

Also depends on how you derive satisfaction.
Small, no name agencies might not get the big clients and lots of awards like bigger, more known agencies do.
But smaller agencies might get to go home on time and work less weekends.
All depends on who you are and what makes you tick as a person.

No - no matter big or small, it won't determine the quality of your experience

I work for a smaller outpost of a bigger agency and am quite happy. We don’t have the biggest clients, but they’re open to creative ideas. Fewer people means more scrutiny, but a higher chance of good work being produced. As a junior, not sure i could ask for more.

Nope.

I clerked right after law school and I’ve been working in BigLaw since (last 3 years). I’ve always thought career clerking for the right judge would be incredible and I may have the opportunity to do so in the next year. Has anyone gone from BL to career clerk? Interested to hear about others’ experiences and if anyone can advise where I’d likely come in on the JPS with 3 years experience and a year of prior federal clerkship service. Thanks!
