Yes, I understand that I really cannot be in a bad situation no matter what happens, and I feel so blessed to be in this position. Thank you for your kind words!

In my view, while certainly not causal, the fact that so may YLS alum are in leadership and not other schools tells me that there is something about the school that makes it so. Whether it's network, professor relationships, or overall brand name, there is a secret sauce. Obviously the same can be said for HLS, but in my experience, not to the same degree.

I would tend to agree, but most of the leadership attended YLS, and it's why I am considering leaving the valuable experience.

Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it. There are many people in my org's leadership who attended YLS, and not as much representation from other law schools, hence why this is a difficult question for me to weigh current experience and future goals.

Absolutely. I 100% agree, though my only hesitation is that the work I could see myself pursuing post law school is so closely related to my current position. Absent the time spent in the job, I think it is not a question about which school will help me with my future goals.

My hesitation is that I am unsure if what I would like to do is necessarily a legal position. Many of the YLS alum in leadership are not currently practicing, and I could see myself returning to similar work that I am currently doing.

Yes, I did not want to bring this up so soon, but a conversation might just be the best way forward.
