see tho, if I wasn't at work and attempting to be marginally productive I could point out dozens of these scenarios. these might be extreme examples but it's hardly a 'exception that proves the rule' kind of thing. vault is riddled with bullshit and really only serves as a proxy for NY

eta; see rpupkin just provided another

Riddled with bullshit and riddled with example where it lines up with Chambers. Either way, I'm just happy that I was able to provide a counter argument here that forced people to post something more usable for OP than the crap that came before.

Yeah crap like "need more details to give actual advice" lol

Your "advice" is sublime idiocy

Someone should make a TLS guide to exit options. The common level of knowledge is seems to be near 0.

I wouldn't trust anyone who did. Nobody seems to know anything about it.

And what if you are not totally sure what your exact goals are but you want, say, options? Would that be prestige for prestige sake?

A more "prestigious" V10 might actually be much worse than a "lower-ranked" firm for certain practice areas. For example, if you're in a niche litigation practice group working on smaller matters with a small team, you're almost certainly going to get better substantive experience faster than a litigation associate at a V10 (who will most likely be doing rote discovery or document review tasks).

Maybe someone from our year who's still around will wrote the guide in a few yrs

The guide would be totally unreliable for everything except the narrow field in which the author secured post-biglaw employment. So why would you even want to read it?

You're going to have to hire a journalist to go around interviewing ex-biglawyers in all different kinds of post-biglaw jobs in order to get any kind of comprehensive guide.

And never refer to it ever

Also, people are biased by their own exit options. I've talked to some Corporate bros who think shitigators are assfucked because they don't have exit options for in house at a bank.

lol @ corporate shitheads. i'm sure all litigators are like, "oh noes! i can't be a sniveling lil bitch of a transaction cost for alpha Wall Street studs for the rest of my life!"

What is a secondary southern market? Are we talking secondary to the rest of the country (i.e. Dallas, Houston, Atlanta) or secondary for the South (NOLA, Nashvegas)?

If you're interested in energy exit opps, working at a V100 in Texas will likely have the same effect as working anywhere but BB and V&E. Even then, people who left Bracewell and Fulbright seem to do plenty well for themselves when they leave.
