I got a second round interview with a small firm (not that small - about 20 attorneys...) in NYC.

The entry pay is not that "great," more like the 90-100K range.

The firm is owned and dominated by non-Americans and does international transactions reversed M & A stuff. I will be among the few Americans working there if they offer me a place.

would you consider this shitlaw? the work is very new to me. sounds better than PI and ID work.
I am interested in the types of work, but I am not sure if this is the place where I want to stay forever. If I want to lateral to a "better" firm down the road, is it even possible?

Does it matter? I'm assuming you don't have a job.

Also, LOL

90-100k in NY is very low. Consider COL. You will survive of course, but between taxes, NYC COL, and paying back loans you are going to be cutting it close.

I do have a job. It is finance-related and pays about the same amount of money.

I don't have loans to pay back.

then it goes back to the age-old question, "do you want to be a lawyer?"
