I lateraled to my current firm 6 months ago. Is it too early to approach a partner about wanting to go into government (SEC)? The partner used to be in a high position in the regional office. I'm a 5th year.

Yes, way too early.

I would not expect he’d be happy to just hand over a recommendation to the SEC after working with you for 6 months.

That said, you can learn all about the role over the course of a year or two through your interactions with him, and when the time is ripe, use that information.

Why are lawyers so risk adverse? Did god make them that way?

Lol does the partner even know you?

Yeah, dude if you actually work with the person, you can get to know them pretty well over six months.
