"Midlaw" offer vs. "Biglaw" offer Poll

Which would you choose?

*Edit* After receiving an offer at the home market, "mid law" firm, I was told I would have a 'very bright future' at the office. I don't know if that means that one day I will make partner but it was nice to hear that. My goals are to make a decent living, pay off my loans and have a decent work-life balance. Long term goals are to be a partner and run shit. With all that said, I know my lateral opportunities are greater at the name-brand firm in NY.

Sorry if this is not enough information, but it is really all I have besides the actual name of the firms, which I'd rather keep private.

Thanks for helping out

how many hours do people actually work at each place?

Both those billable reqs are bs but i voted midlaw nonetheless because home market, probably less hours, and probably better chance of partnership. But that's all speculative.
