Yes and just come back in a year. These people selling the idea that firm prestige matters are wild.

It's too early in your career to be at a no name boutique. It's a no.

If you’re single might be worth it but make sure the benefits are somewhat equal. You don’t want to go to a boutique for an extra 30k only for 15k of that to go towards health insurance because the boutique has 5 employees.

I guess it depends on what your short and medium term goals are. The +$25k is definitely meaningful. The risk of going no-name is that if they’re small and have a limited client pool, they could hit some turbulence and then you’re possibly SOL if they can’t staff and pay you. If you’re thinking of pursuing an MBA, I guess just weigh whether the work you would do at the boutique is more impressive than the T3 name. I’d probably take the money and move.

funny

85k in nyc sounds so low!

lol imagine pursuing an MBA rn.

Whyd you say this

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to.
