Re: Splitting the Summer: How Many Weeks?
I understand the economy sucks and everything, but it seems so unfair to me that you're not allowed to split between different markets, especially for those of us who have a significant other to take into account- how are we supposed to make this huge decision about what city to be in 2 years in advance? It's crazy.

I think most firms let you split across markets. The question is whether it is prudent to do so.Anonymous User wrote:I understand the economy sucks and everything, but it seems so unfair to me that you're not allowed to split between different markets, especially for those of us who have a significant other to take into account- how are we supposed to make this huge decision about what city to be in 2 years in advance?

I don't think NYC firms care as much about splitting - you should get an offer if you do a good job. However, my experience with smaller markets (my personal experience is with the Southern markets - TX may or may not be included) is that they will question your commitment to that market if you do split, with lets say, a much bigger city market. So, I think you might have a harder time getting an offer from the 2nd firm, assuming that's the one in a smaller market.

I've typed 50 response to this post, and deleted them all for being to profane and violent.

UNFAIR?!? That's your argument for wanting employers to cater to your every indecision?
