Currently working in State SG's office but curious about big law. Is it realistic to consider eventually trying to go straight from here to a firm or would i need to clerk first? My docket is currently about a 50/50 mix of special lit and appeals so i would like to stay in a more issues and apeals kind of gig but i know that isnt always realistic. I also know ill probably have to wait a couple more years but cant hurt having a long term plan.

For context:

Graduated from T14, no clerkship, been doing appeals for various state AGs my whole career​, less than five years out of law school
