Why would it be moved if online?

Don't think so, it's supposed to be taking place and the filing period is about to close so why would they?

NYC will never be the same. If you’re not even from the area I’d consider not settling here.

🙄 plenty of people are still moving here. Personally, I moved here in the middle of the pandemic, and I have still enjoyed my time here. I’m also trying to register for the NY bar exam, but have not been able to do so yet.

Hi guys, an extension on my previous post. Which company should I prefer:

CitiusTech - 25 LPA- 2 days WFO in my hometown

R Systems - 28 LPA - Remote

YOE - 6.5 years

Looking for stability, decent WLB and good growth opportunity. Difference of 1-2 lacs doesn't matter too much.

These are the final options I have. No more interviews/offers lines up.

Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.

A quick word of warning regarding a particular recruiting pitch making the rounds.

Talking with attorneys this week, I've been informed of multiple recruiting calls pitching an opportunity at a certain NY quant fund (I'd rather not mention by name as this is in no way their fault, and they don't deserve to be tarnished). In speaking with our contacts at the quant, I can say unequivocally that this position does not exist.

While the 'bait and switch" is not a new tactic, please be wary.
