Two plaintiffs filed a complaint against my client both asserting they were sexually harassed and wrongful termination. This seems improper to me, in that the jury will be confused into considering the evidence of alleged misconduct solely relating to Plaintiff 1 when considering whether the threshold for liability is met for Plaintiff 2-and vice versa. What is the mechanism for breaking up the suit into 2 separate suits?

Idk if you even have this issue unless you know your jury is going to see the causes of action of each plaintiff before the start of the trial. In my state, the jury hears the evidence first and gets the verdict forms at the end.

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
