OCI help

Post by Biglawjmar1 » Fri Aug 19, 2022 7:57 pm

I am a 2L at Fordham with multiple
summer offers. My experience is
technology. two of my offers are at
Fenwick and WSGR NY. I also have
Skadden, Simpson, and Gibson.. 1
Am I crazy to pass up on a top 10 law
firm out of Fordham to take a less
"prestigious" firm? I think I want to do
tech startup work, but what if I don't
and I end up having difficulty
lateraling in the future? Also if I decide
to go with the tech route, Wilson
Sonsini seems small but is ranked
higher. Is Fenwick better in NY? FYI I am corporate not litigation.

Congrats on the amazing offers! I would spend some time talking to mentors and maybe career services to figure this one out. also a more pointed question sometimes lands better on TLS

No.. you wouldn't be crazy. Fenwick is way better than GB at tech ECVC and is by far your best option for that. Fenwick does not lack prestige, you will be fine with long term lateral/exit ops.
