Say you got burned out and took a year or 2 off from law to travel and chill, then apply to firms again when $ runs out.

this isn't a good idea unless you plan on going solo or already have a family/ close connection small firm guarantee to go to. I would imagine trying to pull some career progressing gig is done after this.

The only person I know who did this asked a friend if he could be "counsel" at the friend's firm to fill the resume gap. I would try that or even say self-employed / consultant to something v. having a gap.

You will not get any law firm to hire you unless you're like a Supreme Court clerk level genius or something
