If you’re in US, score a short term contractor role with WB and hope that evolves into a full time role (its really hard to break into WB from US w/o a PhD or academic advisor affiliated with WB).

If you’re outside of US, in developing world , you’re in high demand if you have government experience in that country.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?
