I weep at the short sightedness on this boards. Highest starting pay and the easiest life is the priority, when what you should really be asking yourself is which firm will give me the best legal foundation and development opportunities for a successful career in the law?

Like all professions, you need to suffer a bit at the beginning to earn your right to success.

Have you noticed a reluctance for anyone to respond to your enquiries in detail? Being a law student you should know that there is potential liability for any comments on this board which might be construed as defamatory.

Improve your networking skills and find your answers by other means, rather than expecting others to put their necks on the line here.
