3L Accepted Job, Networking for Different Job in New Market
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 4:18 pm
(3L) I accepted a job this fall and now, due to personal circumstances (that are good enough in order to take this risk), am trying to get a job in new geographic market as soon as possible. It's a non-nalp firm in a geographic market totally unconnected from new market.
People close to me have put me in touch with lawyers in new market, and I have meetings with them set up. I know this is going to be sticky, but any advice on how I can best approach this situation?
Option A: Be upfront that I accepted offer already, things changed, and I am looking to never go to new firm and work in new city in fall.
Option B: Be upfront about situation and tell them I'd like to work in new city sometime in near future.
Option C: Don't be upfront unless they ask
Thanks!
