Scranton... excellent. QUESTION... Which bear is best?

bear or beer? I'm a Yuengling Porter man myself.

Thanks! I'm staying with the Business Law Group in their Madison office. I thought about going to their Chicago, D.C., or one of their California offices, but it didn't make sense. I am getting paid about the same salary as associates in those other offices, but I don't have to take the bar (so I can sh-t around all summer), the cost of living is next to nothing, my commute with be like 10 minutes each way, I like Madison a lot, and I can always transfer if they like me enough.

What are you up to? I see that you went to UVA, which is an awesome school.

First year associate at a firm in DC. UVA was great, but graduation wasn't much of a relief knowing that the bar was right around the corner. Then finishing the bar wasn't much of a relief since you don't know if you passed. But the day I found out I had passed was a great one.

I hear you about living in a medium-sized market and being able to buy a nice house and not have a bad commute. The decision to come back to DC was a tough one with offers in other cities like Denver and Charlotte.
