@monydad: BigLaw recruits after your 1L. That means they only see the grades from your 1L. If you transferred to HYS from NoNameU, they see your transcript from NoNameU. They recruit accordingly. Transferring has the benefit of opening doors to interview rooms, but unless you went to a school the firm would otherwise recruit from anyways, they don’t care. There are plenty more law students where you came from.
