Also, what are the chances that the firm I turned down would hire me?

Do you have any clawback at ur current firm (if you got signing bonus when you moved)? If not, get out ASAP.

No signing bonus

I would definitely reach back out to the other firm and explain things in a tactful way. They may need to replace people who resigned post-bonus or be conducting performance layoffs in conjunction with review season, so the chances of something being open are higher at this time of year.

If your goal is in-house, why wait? Start that process to see if there’s opportunity and employer interest at your current level.

Considering a jump from Chicago to New York. I truly love living in Chicago and how far this salary gets me but I definitely want to try to make it in New York.

The only problem is my significant other has a lot of negative opinions about New York. I ultimately want to return to DC but I feel like a few good years in New York would be really good for me. In terms of a place to live, where in Manhattan can I find a place that's similar to River North in Chicago?
