Law related question… if someone went to a T1 law school but went public interest right out the gate, and now wants to sell out to make something within the realm of Biglaw (or even midlaw) money, is that even possible? I understand it’s an uphill battle because of the way law firms work, but with a top tier degree seems like it should be ultimately doable… Any anecdotes or advice?
Additional info: has become a respected subject matter expert in the area of public interest, publishing articles and doing speaking engagements. 4 years’ out of law school right now. The area of public interest (education, civil rights) is not one that relates to a particularly common or in-demand area of law, though.
That story about women working in Obama’s White House is really from WaPo. The Cut has basically just paraphrased the original article.
