I'm a first year associate at a mid-sized defense firm. I have had a lot of success and have received considerable praise from both our managing partner and the partner (rainmaker) who feeds me work. Partner giving me work says I'm the best associate he has had in at least 20 years. As a result, I have already received some depo/trial experience.

My problem is I want to go to the Plaintiff's side. Does my early success only carryover to other Defense firms? Or can I go to good Plaintiff's shop?

I have more than seven years of experience with mixed methods social science research with a heavy emphasis on qualitative methods.

I would love your ideas about 1.) what would make someone like me more competitive in the field and 2.) what the most appropriate roles (entry/mid/senior/manager) are for someone with my level of experience. DM’s welcome!
