[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 111370, member: 2672"] I would still not worry too much about it being a guaranteed work experience programme - you'll have plenty of time to build up experiences outside of the firm you have a mentor at. I wouldn't say one placement would have that big an impact - it doesn't with the 100s of people I have seen with other mentoring programmes anyway. I think you have to work where you are happy to work and live. Most people head for London because they either live close to London or are willing to work in the city. Many people don't want to do that though - they want to be close to home or have ties to other locations. The benefits of London really depend on what motivates you - you are much more likely to work with certain clients on certain matters in London than you are in other locations. It really depends on what region you want to compare London too. Renting a one-bed apartment in zones 1-3 in London will be anywhere between £1500-3000 a month depending on the precise location. Going out in London is typically more expensive than other cities/locations - it wouldn't be surprising to spend £6 on a pint or £7.50 on a gin & tonic for instance. A gym membership in the city could easily be £80 a month. This article might help with comparative cost of living: [URL='https://abcfinance.co.uk/blog/the-true-cost-of-living-in-uk-cities/']The True Cost of Living in UK Cities | ABC FINANCE[/URL] [/QUOTE]
