Are certain offices harder to get hired out of for MBBs? What about countries (US vs. UK)? So far it looks like the frenzy is more around major US offices rather than Europe / UK

Eh. Most in-demand offices also have the most spots available, so it’s all a wash 🤷🏻‍♀️ but NYC and SF are generally very popular for us and Boston a close second

London is a popular office but not a great one, from what I’ve heard (mainly due to comp to work ratio)

You are not wrong BCG1. I have a problem clearly

For US, our numbers go NY/SF/Silicon Valley, followed by Chicago and Atlanta, and then DC and Boston

For competitiveness it depends on your background and where you are now in your career / academics. If you’re based in London with no US experience, you’re not likely to be interviewing for a US office.

Hmm I don’t agree M2. NJ is super competitive and surpasses NY in certain steams / years.

NJ still has significantly higher acceptance rates out of UGR as far as what I’ve seen data wise. Total people who pref NY or SF relative to acceptances is not close to NJ (maybe 2nd or 3rd pref)

Has anyone come up with a gracious way to tell existing or prior clients that you are too busy to take on more of their work? I am in a mid-sized law firm in Florida and drowning in work. I don't want to burn bridges but keep accepting more work from existing/prior clients because I feel like it's impossible to say no to a good existing/prior client.
