What are the chances of me going into Big Law for 5-7 years and then going into government for public policy? I'd like to gather corporate knowledge/skills and carry them over to the public sector.

Thanks...

What do you mean by public policy? If you mean into an attorney position at a government agency that does enforcement or regulatory, then your odds will vary by practice area but can be very good. If you mean into a true policy position, that will be much harder to predict since many of those jobs are political appointments.

OP I'm not going to out you, but 0Ls aren't allowed to post in this forum. The appropriate forum is Ask a Law Student/Grad. However, that forum doesn't allow anon, so I'm going to lock rather than move this, and you can re-ask there if you prefer.
