Say goodbye to the dream

[Apathy]

Good luck Jason,

You seem to understand what you are sacrificing and what you are gaining. I personally would have waited a couple years (and am) but I think that the decision to start along a more "normal" carrer path while very young can be the best choice especially since you have offers from such top firms.

I would say to remember to not forget about your own well-being and make sure to not get too caught up in work work work since that is how you will be pushed.

Mostly I would just like to say good luck and even though it is a little time away until you would be starting the job Id love to hear about it how it goes since I am interested in a similar field of work after all this.
