Biglaw in DC --> FedGov
Is there a benefit to working in biglaw in DC if your goal is to work in big law for a few years and then transfer to government or policy related PI? I would intuitively assume yes and that this is the reason why some people with top grades from schools gun for DC, but haven't seen it stated anywhere. Also what would be the cause of the benefit? Would it just be due to proximity so there are more opportunities to network or is there something else? Thanks for the help.
