[QUOTE="SLKEJRWOI97, post: 104988, member: 4782"] Congratulations! This is great news! Whilst the breakdown you've provided is helpful, what's important to [B]you[/B]? Are you interested in doing an international secondment at a firm's own office (Slaughters do have secondments but they're to partner firms or the firm's small int'l network)? Do you have an interest in finance as opposed to general corporate? Do you share Slaughter's ethos of "multidisciplinary lawyers" or would you rather follow a more structured way of learning/training with Clifford Chance? Ultimately, it depends on [U]what factors are important to you[/U]. And as cliché as it sounded during networking events with trainees/associates/partners at firms we applied to, this is where when people say "I'm only at X because of the people" becomes important. [LIST=1] [*]Have you got to know people from both firms? [*]Do you see yourself working those late hours with those people? [*]Do you get along with those people? [/LIST] If you're still struggling, you could ask to be put into contact (or contact them yourself on LinkedIn) with future trainees or current trainees at both firms and speak to them to find out more. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
