Can anyone give pros and cons of Morrison & Foerster and Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton as well as any comparisons between the two for patent prosecution?

2L who CBed and ultimately decided between these firms and several others

My impression is that hours would be much, much better at KTS, but your pay (especially when taking into account rate of growth over years) will be a bit lower
Also, enormous office vs. small office, obvious differences... I felt that it would be much more likely to have a long and stable career at KTS, at least the way they pitch it that way.

But, if MoFo is SF, I would wayyyyy rather live in SF, as a single 20something. Or if commuting from SF, 15 minute commute to MoFo on muni >>>>> 1 hour commute on caltrain+shuttle/bike

I've heard QoL is much better at KTS. FWIW, though heard secondhand, apparently lateraling to MoFo is a difficult transition.

Can you elaborate a little on what you have heard? If not, no worries.
