I see them as a Tier 2 shop behind Gunderson, Cooley, Fenwick, Goodwin and WSGR

Depends on location. I’m at one of the Tier 1 shops on your list but I think in certain regions Orrick is better than my firm.

EC/VC partner at one of the top shops mentioned above. They’re good and it’s a solid landing spot but all of the top shops are hiring right now so worth casting a wide net.

Are the top shops open to retooling laterals? I’ve been trying to switch into ECVC my whole career and haven’t had much luck.

Do people proactively begin finding work when they know they may be low on work soon? Or do they just wait until they actually don’t have enough work to fill their days? Have a larger project that is winding down and my main case is slowing down a bit so I anticipate potentially needing to find more work soon, and I was unsure if that was something I needed to worry about.
