A: Why would you want to stay? You’ll never be able to start a family, or manage family life, working 2500 billable hours. You may as well begin now to look for a position in Pittsburgh, if that’s where you want to be. More time in New York won’t help. However, to be realistic, you may need to anticipate some further length of stay in New York while you find your job in Pittsburgh. Begin by networking with alumni from your law school, and use your law school’s career placement office. But don’t stay in New York any longer than necessary, just to “put in time”; in these times of rapid job mobility, it is far more important to be flexible than to demonstrate job “stability.”
