[QUOTE="jamieclarke, post: 114233, member: 19336"] Hey, I've a few more questions if you don't mind answering them. Would be a greta help. 1.) How easy is it to move firm after I've completed my training, I'm thinking if they don't retain me for any reason, or I decide I don't like the firm and another firm does an area of law I am interested in, or I move to London and want to move back north after my TC. 2.) Promotion or partner pay. I don't know how to ask this but an example should explain it. I do my TC at a firm in London on a £100k NQ salary and a firm that has a £125k NQ salary. But the former firm actually has more opportunities for promotion with higher pay packets, so the firms are luring you in with a high NQ salary, but if you want to a lower paying NQ firm you would be earring more years down the line. I think LC did an article about this before. Also, there's averages on the Legal Cheek, but every partner has a different % so they it isn't that useful of a tool. 3.) I know many students use the logic as, the more the firm pays, the more hours you will be working. Would you say this is fairly true. However, I've been to a few open days and the trainees say that the workload is relatively the same across offices, but I do doubt how honest an answer that is. Would a DLA Piper associate at £95k NQ be doing the same hours as a £150k NQ associate. [/QUOTE]
