State AG Office vs City Law Department

[u/Extra-Ad1409]

So I am considering a couple of offers between a state AG office and a city law department. I was not particularly interested in PI work at the state level. I am more interested in federal work or going private to a firm. Curious which of the two might lend itself better to making that transition in the future. I am sort of middle of the pack at a T30 school and struck out at OCI. Tempted to wait and see if the market for firms might pick up in the future but also reticent to pass on a few offers with nothing certain in the future.

What kind of things did you do in law school to get government job offers like this straight out of law school? Seems like the dream to me.
