Splitting summers with same firm Forum

[Anonymous User]

I just received an offer last week with a firm in a major market (Ny) and really enjoyed it. However not being from there, I was wondering if it would be appropriate to ask them if I could split the summer with their office in another major market (Chi) which I am from? The firm traditionally 100% offers their summers, but the NY office is the only one I interviewed with on campus and got a CB to.

Any thoughts on if this is normal or should I just take the offer and run?

Also interested in this. Would it decease the chance of getting an offer from each office? I wouldn't want to risk getting no-offered. My firm also offered 100% this year.

Do you think you would end up gelling less with the summer class at the office you end up joining?

I mean I could ultimately care less. I'd rather have the piece of mind of being comfortable in my city with my friend group already than worrying about if I know when my fellow summers' birthdays are.

This depends from firm to firm, but it has become less common over the last few years. I would just ask the recruiter generally if it is something their firm allows and then if they say yes you can talk more specifics.
