Tax LLM: Accept offer for market paying DC firm or roll the dice at TIP for an offer in NYC?

I want to live in NYC but I got a pre-TIP/OCI offer for a market paying DC firm. Everything is great about it except I would like to live in NYC. I got around a 3.6 gpa first semester and I believe I have good credentials so ill be shocked if I don't get an offer from TIP but who knows in this economy. Thoughts???

Were you practicing before your tax LLM? If not, you’re still young and to play it safe take the dc offer and lateral later. You’re major risks are not getting an offer or getting an offer in a tax practice you don’t like. Are you Georgetown or NYU?

Smart, and congrats on the offer

Ask for more time or say you have another offer you are considering to buy some time? Also what are your credentials?

The reason I ask about credentials is if you are going for general tax, I would not bank on getting an offer at TIP, or you should take inventory of how many jobs are posted and how many people from recent classes got offers. Firms will generally fill slots based on need and depending on cycle there could be only a handful of gen tax jobs and if you are at GT will be competing with NYU kids with comparable and better GPAs…

Take the offer. You can always lateral to nyc in a year or two (or asked to be transferred internally in a year or two for “personal reasons”)

Why not do both? Take the offer and try to get a NYC offer at TIP?
