Two offers and an interview request .. What to do? Forum

[Anonymous User]

So I currently have 2 offers in hand.
Offer 1: A really good law firm at a location I want. But it's only for 1 year (possibly extending thereafter but no certainty).
Offer 2: Pretty decent law firm but at an undesirable (for me) location. Quasi-permanent (so there is job security), pay is slightly less.
Interview from Firm 3.

Not sure which one to take. Just looking at the firm and work I would do, I'd much prefer Offer 1 but that initial 1 year term makes me nervous. Is it possible to ask Firm 2 to defer the offer to the following year?
Also should I take the interview with Firm 3?

If I were to take Offer 1 today and have to reapply for jobs next year, Firm 2 and 3 are the ones I would like to be at. So I'm a bit scared if I turn down their offer/interview today, they might not even consider me next year when I reapply. Is that true?

Yea I doubt they are going to want you after you got dinged from another firm. Take Firm 2 or 3.

Would they think they were dinged even if I just don't interview with them?

Also you would take 2 or 3 even though location is undesirable and won't get as much work experience?

Why is the first job limited to one year. That doesn't make sense to me.

I'd be afraid you get fired after a year and then can't find a job.
