Any advice/ experience on choosing between your dream job or dream partner (not married)? Both are on different continents & leaning toward declining the job. Long distance is possible, but my visa expires in one year in the country my partner is in

Don’t really have advice but LDR’s are really, really challenging even if you are both super committed (was in one for 3 years and only lived 4 hours away - a whole continent is even worse). Definitely consider your partner’s input on it first. I would avoid a LDR at all costs if you really see a future with this person; jobs come and go.

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?
