Lots of back and forth on this thread. Bottom line - both are good firms and you can’t really go wrong here (despite what some would have you believe).

Generally speaking, exits will largely be the same from either, but it’s important to realize (and I certainly didn’t when I was a law student 6 years ago) that there is a TON of factors that go into your future exit options that you have absolutely no control over right now, so basing this particular decision on some vague notion of one firm having better exit options is silly.

Can you please elaborate on the factors that influence exit options?
