Hi all,
I just finished my stub year and want to switch firms. I want to move to a completely different location (think CA to DC or Chicago to LA) and switch to a practice group that is not offered at the office I’m currently in.
I realize this is a lot but I want to make sure I’m proactive about the career path I’m on before it’s too late to change it.
Is this possible? Do I need to wait until the 1 year mark?
Anon to preserve my identity so people don’t know I’m contemplating switching. Thank you.

Re: Switching firms and practice groups as a first year
it's not too early. it's actually helpful that you want to switch location as well, there are plausible reasons for doing so.
1 year wouldn't be too late but the earlier the better.
how big of a jump in practice group are we talking? something big like lit to corporate or smaller like patent lit to appellate lit?
