Which is more prestigious?

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Aug 29, 2014 2:41 pm

General question--I'm not sure what I want to do later in life so I'm chasing prestige short term, want to keep options open, etc.

Which is more prestigious in a secondary market--working at a smaller office of a v-10 firm or working at a main office of a v-25 firm. The v-25 firm is regionally more well regarded but they're both regionally v-10.

You have no idea if you want corp. v. lit, no idea if you want to remain in the region, no idea what kind of exits you want?

Any sense of quality of work for 1st years at each, sophistication of cases, health of the firms, which you feel you "Fit" better with?

You gotta have something. Prestige, to the extent its useful, is so hard to gauge outside of NY.

Pick the v10 then test out your PRESTIGE at bars and clubs. If you feel stigmatized by being at a satellite you can transfer or prestige UP at 3L OCI.
