William Blair SF or Allen and Co.?

Hi guys, 

Am in a bit of a pickle. Got an offer at WB SF in their tech sector and also at Allen and Co for summer 2023. Have until Wednesday to decide. What do I do? 

I love media and entertainment (why I chose Allen) but WB's culture + location is amazing and I don't want to be in NYC

How do I decide?

Wouldn’t say “Allen for sure.”

Depends on how strongly you feel about each of these different factors. Is it more important to work in the sector that you are interested in, or live in a city you enjoy with a culture that you like. WB tech is very strong, been on a tear recently.

Both great options - congrats!
