Couldn’t hurt from a leadership standpoint. However, if you’re a staff 1 may just want to leave now and start entry level in one of those fields again.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any?

Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?
