Thoughts on continuing to interview after accepting a lateral offer but before starting if another opportunity gets back to you that you previously applied for and could be a better fit?

I did this and ended up accepting the new offer and reneging on the previously verbally accepted offer (hadn’t signed offer letter yet). Obviously the firm I reneged on wasn’t thrilled but it was the right call for me and I don’t regret it at all. We have also had someone do this to us who we offered and he reneged and went to Kirkland. Kind of is what it is. I don’t even think a bridge was permanently burned just irked people

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
