[QUOTE="cty, post: 12869, member: 2487"] Hi all, I am looking for some advice, as I am currently facing the dilemma of whether to defer my training contract. I have recently started a job at a Big 4 firm outside the UK in international tax, which I believe will be useful commercial experience. If I choose not to defer my training contract, I will gain only one year of work experience at the firm. If I do defer, then I will have two. I am, therefore, looking for advice on whether this experience and the length of it (1 year vs 2 years), will make any difference to: (i) my employability if I want to switch firms after my TC, and (ii) my career as a corporate lawyer (and not a tax lawyer) generally. Any advice will be much appreciated, and thank you in advance! :) [/QUOTE]
