[QUOTE="Rayhaan V, post: 71, member: 19"] Hey Jess! It's hard to answer that - I'm not really sure what I was expecting to be perfectly honest - it really is impossible to know. What I will say is that the things that Morrison & Foerster sells itself on in terms of training: lots of responsibility, interesting work, and a really good culture, have all rung true, at least in my experience. Obviously I expected it to be hard work, and it certainly has been, and there have definitely been bad days, as there are with any job. But I'm sure most people expect hard work entering into this profession, so that's nothing new. While you can never really prepare yourself for the ins and outs of daily life of your training contract until you start, I think it's important to understand the 'type' of firm you're going to (UK v US; small trainee intake v large), because this will give you at least an indication as to what your training experience might be like. I think the reality though is that a training contract probably won't be as good as your best case scenario, and won't be anywhere near as bad as your worst nightmare. It will fall somewhere in between, with moments that you love and those you find really challenging. [/QUOTE]
