Boston or New York
For massmailing Vault firms not coming to OCI. Headquartered in Boston, but large office in New York. Ties to New York=parent from there and many, many relatives and friends living there, spent parts of every year there. Ties to Boston=Attended undergrad there. Which office is better to pick as the first choice/most preferred market, Boston or New York, to increase chances of employment?

Re: Boston or New York
Depends somewhat on how selective each individual office is and how many SAs each office is taking.

Re: Boston or New York
Thanks, makes sense. So, better to apply to only one office of each firm or apply to both but emphasize a preferred market (assuming same hiring contact)?

Generally, just one is the safest, but I'm sure someone here will tell you they mailed 2 offices and got an offer at 1 or something.Anonymous User wrote:Thanks, makes sense.

Re: Boston or New York
The big thing about R&G is that they supposedly allow their associates have somewhat of a life. I imagine that doesn't apply to their NY office. Go Boston.

fair enough...just that his description of it is a far cry from the horror stories of late nights/all weekends summers from the other NYC firms in the Summer Associate Anxiety ThreadAssumptionRequired wrote:SA schedule =/= associate schedule.Anonymous User wrote:buddy of mine is summering at the NY R&G office...says he gets in about 9 and leaves at 5:30 most days.PMan99 wrote:The big thing about R&G is that they supposedly allow their associates have somewhat of a life.
