Callbacks with multiple offices of the same firm
I have callbacks scheduled with two offices of the same firm in Southern CA. How do I go about letting them know that I am truly interested in both offices without sounding disingenuous? While it would be difficult for me to choose among the two if I received offers at both, I'd hate to be dinged at both because they think I might be more interested in the other. Any help on navigating this would be very much appreciated.

LA and OC?
The firms that have a big presence in both markets tend to be firms headquartered (or pseudo-headquartered) in LA, like Gibson, Latham, O'Melveny, Irell, etc. It should be easy to come up with a plausible reason why you'd be interested in either. I want LA because it is the mothership, it's where the biggest cases/deals are done by the best attorneys,etc. I want OC because it's the best quality of life available at a 160 salary, it's smaller and more family friendly, etc. If one person wants to know why you're interested in both offices, just explain that both of those sets of characteristics are appealing to you and you'd like to meet the people and see where you fit in. They get it. They have offices in both locations for a reason, and they won't ding you for expressing an interest.
If you're looking at LA/CC or LA/SD or something, I don't have as much to offer, sorry.

That was really helpful actually. Unfortunately it won't be as easy as LA/OC but some of your points can be carried over. I won't give away the office locations specifically because it'll out me. Thanks though! you're awesome
