Sidley Chicago v. K&E Chicago, or should I just go to a v100 in the secondary east coast market where I'm from?

pretty lazy post man. what do you want to do? whats your personality? they’re pretty different firms. Kirkland is the top firm in Chicago but Sidley is right there behind it.

if you want to stay on the east coast then go there

The question of large vs. small market depends heavily on your long-term goals and practice area.
