I don't think you can go wrong with either. Do you have offers from both?

I'm curious about this as well.  Except substitute small firm for an in-house gig for a fairly large Silicon Valley company.  Any thoughts?

states attorneys office is way better than small firm.  not even close.  you can get work study or credit for the state attorney job so don't fret about losing the salary.  anyway, how much is a small firm going to pay anyway?  not worth it when state attorney will be so much better on your resume.
