Better exit opps:

EG/VC & MA or benefits (no specific specialization; would try to stay generally well rounded)?

Any other considerations? Torn between the two. Trying to make partner as well, so any considerations there would help (WLB, predictability, job safety, etc.)

M&A and EC/VC work will leave you with the most options if you don’t make partner.

I’m not sure I understand the question: you’re both trying to make partner (eventually, not imminently) and keep options open for in-house or other exits? If so, I’d say EG/VC & M&A: I can’t see many buy-side clients needing a full-time benefits lawyer on the books (someone is going to pipe up with “but KKR…” here 🙄)

No - I think “screwed” is too strong: there are exit options but (I would suggest) more likely into big corporates or banks etc where you’re doing more HR-type stuff. I think few funds/ buy-side institutions will need full time in-house benefits support. Am always happy to be corrected by other though!

Should I try to sign the 185 offer and try to see if I even get offer with MS and let the poly play out or should I just not worry about it and sign the current offer? I am pretty sure the compensation from MS is great.
