Job in New England or one in target market
Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 8:46 pm
I'm a 1L and was just offered a summer internship at a Fortune 10 company in their legal department. Awesome job, great pay, in New England - Business insider labels them a Top 10 company for internships, etc. etc.. Really can't complain. Problem is, this won't be in my target market which is Chicago/Detroit. I have ties to both (family in both, grew up in one) but i'm curious if this will look bad to firms during OCI? It's a very respected company so maybe it will just be a good talking point rather than a negative; I think I can shift the convo to positive if the question is brought up though. Maybe i'm just being paranoid.
I'm waiting to hear from a few options in Chicago/Detroit but they likely won't get back to me for a few weeks.
