[QUOTE="TC fiend, post: 82763, member: 12349"] Seems like a lot of your considerations have to do with the long-term goal of getting to the US (totally fair and relatable). I think a good thing to ask yourself is how will you feel if you can't do a US secondment. Not to mention, moving laterally to the States is at least another 3-4 years off for you. You'll be training in London, so if I were you I'd first focus on what you want to get out of your time HERE. That said, the best way to move into a US-based office seems to still be with a US firm, or at the very least a firm with a strong US presence. I have no personal knowledge of CC's US presence, so I can't say anything there. But Freshfields' US teams are phenomenal, and quickly snapping up lots of top dogs from other US firms and government institutions. Which, at the very least, might make a lateral move easier. Also, the NY capital markets team second their summer associates to the London office. Vice versa, all the associates I know at FF who wanted to do a US secondment managed to do one. In terms of marginally better pay - really up to you. After tax, it may make less of a difference than you think. [/QUOTE]
