No large, prestigious firm in the country would have even let Jimmy in the door.
All Chuck did was act as a responsible steward for his partners and employees. Had Jimmy done exactly what you're suggesting he do: get on with a different firm, establish his bonafides, then go build a practice, he could easily have then gone out and hung his own shingle and come up with Sandpiper. At that point Chuck's analysis is almost certainly going to be different.
That's not what happened.

You can't just gloss over the fact that Chuck didn't want Jimmy working at the firm but made Hamlin deliver the blow. And then Chuck used Jimmy's phone to make the late night call to Hamlin to squeeze him out of the case that he generated. There's a point where being a good steward and being a good brother could have intersected but Chuck chose differently.
