Let me ask you a question.Ness Lee wrote:How did you decide to do plaintiff's work? If I want to work at one of the "elite/prestigious" plaintiff's firms, like Susman Godfrey, what should I do? Does past government work help to get my foot in the door?
What are you planning on doing as of now? Now, given whatever answer you have to that question, let me ask you how you decided what it is that you currently want to do.
And I think you should stop worrying about "prestige" and find a firm where you (1) like the people and (2) enjoy the work.
