Bros, it's me. I got two offers on the table - one from a decent firm in NY and another in DC. This is where it gets a little funky. I told partner #1 (NY) that I would accept if offered. Offer came a week later. Then, I interviewed and got an offer from the DC firm.

I'm getting cold feet, man. I told partner #1 I will get back to him shorty, but I can't make my mind up. NY firm was great, but I prefer to practice in DC. I know I'm going to look shitty, but I think I'm going to accept the DC offer. Thoughts?

NY - V50, corp. DC - smaller firm, but it has a practice area I'm really interested in (international trade/arbitration type of shit).

If you go to NY you'll only end up regretting it or wondering "what if."

Fuck that partner. Do what you want.

Is the DC firm Dechert? LJL

At the end of the day, it's all business. The partner will understand.

Do what's best for you. That partner will forget you in a week if you don't go. That said, I would still just go to NY and try to stack paper.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Trying to take it as all business, gotta do what's right for me. At the same time, I feel shitty about the whole deal.

I'll be making market at both firms, so no difference there. Just a different type of work.
