Why do we see more Tier 1 counsels/partners joining smaller (by no.) firms, or starting their own firms? Is that a sign that they have learnt hunting birds?

No big law firm teaches you to hunt especially at the salaried partner/PA/Counsel level. You are there to just service the work. It does not bode well for them if you start making rain yourself. The business is controlled by the equity guys. This is just the way business works; no right or wrong in this.

This is actually very aptly put and the harsh truth unlike in most other professional industries where you are rewarded for making rain.
