One-City Focus?

Post by Person » Thu Jul 15, 2010 2:24 pm

I have a 3.7 at a lower T14 school. Is it feasible to focus my job-search exclusively on Chicago?

I have heard that Chicago is a tough market. That being said, I would be pretty happy finding a job at a non-V100 firm.

At any school but Northwestern, I'd say absolutely with the caveat that you may need to find other firms just because not many Chicago firms are visiting other schools.

At Northwestern your 3.7 is well below median* and you should drop out and kill self.
