I know there are no general rules for this stuff, but I am wondering how feasible it is to change markets when leaving a law firm to work as in-house counsel. Do businesses want lawyers with local firm experience?
How much harder is it to make this transition if the law firm is a regional biglaw firm in a secondary market?
Is going from one secondary market to another more or less difficult than going from a secondary market to a major market?
Ties aside, I would imagine secondary --> secondary is easier, mostly because the deal experience will be more similar (e.g., real estate experience in Phoenix probably translates better to Cleveland rather than Phoenix --> LA/NY).
