[QUOTE="TikiTaka18, post: 69075, member: 9875"] Hi all, I hope everyone is well, and regardless of the outcome of your apps/interviews, you are keeping strong and putting your health first. I find myself in a predicament: Let's say I'm offered a TC at Travers Smith (just as an example); what does this mean in terms of my future prospects? How easy would it be for me to move to another, 'more elite' firm upon qualification or later down the line? I have no intention of speaking ill of any firm but, not long ago, a lawyer told me that, upon qualifications, the bigger law firms wouldn't be impressed with a TC at Travers or firms of a similar class. Due to the person's status relaying this information to me, I'm inclined to consider their opinion seriously. I hope you all can appreciate that (1) I want to take up a TC at a firm due to the fierce competition for TCs, but (2) I'm not sure what the repercussions of doing so with X firm are? I don't want to be pressured into accepting a TC with one firm just because it's my only offer. So, is it better for me to not accept the TC with such firms and re-apply? What are your suggestions/opinions? Sorry for the long thread! Tiki [/QUOTE]
