Am I crazy for turning down a t2 firm to stay in the city we bought a house in? Accepted a b4 offer instead at same comp but slower growth potential. Only 25 and thinking that this is the time to move around and grind.

Life is more important than career.. If you already bought a house and can't figure alternative, then I would've made the same choice as you. If you are single and have no strings attached to your responsibilities. (e.g., SO) then maybe you could've tried renting that new house and relocate for the T2 swag, but up to you

Yep. Sounds like the right decision in my mind. At least given your details

Love my firm, but if you’re happy, no need to move.

The prevalent mentality on this app that you need to work for the “highest ranked” firm is silly and not like to be mentally healthy.

Question is why would you apply to a city outside of where you literally bought a house at

Sounds fine to me given the details. If you had to move, then I think you made the right move

You could always move and rent out your property, but up to you. I’d prefer to stay unless the offer is out of this world
