DC Practice Area Concerns

Is corporate work in DC seen as less competitive for in house roles than if one did corporate work in NYC? I am considering picking a DC office over a NYC office for corporate work and I want to make sure that I am not negatively impacting my career.

As a follow-up, would joining the government practice group force me to stay in DC? I would imagine that there are limited opportunities in government practice groups outside of DC, but I really do not know. I would like to eventually go home, so again just trying to not negatively impact my long-term career.

Sorry if these questions seem over broad, I am first-gen so I really do not have much experience with the difference in practice groups besides my exposure this last summer. Also, my career services department might as well not exist

Bump because I'm a DC lit attorney so can't answer this question but think it's a really good one and deserves an answer. Anyone? Help a brother/sister out.
