[quote=Anonymous]How can you be so sure the matter will (a) last until June and (b) definitely end then? If it is lit, it could settle before then, or if you are basing it on a trial date, those get pushed all the time. Similar issues for a corporate matter. Maybe regulatory deadline? But even those aren't set in stone. Unless you think you will get some unique and valuable experience on this matter that would be bad for you to pass up (for your career) I don't think you should forgo this opportunity. (For example, if you are a litigator and you thought you would get actual trial experience - not just trial team - but a bunch of witnesses, maybe you think about it, since that experience is hard to come by. But you better be sure that it will really happen and that it will be worth it to you, since exit opportunities for senior associates from ok firms don't always come up all the time.)[/quote]
