Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dheepa" data-source="post: 79300" data-attributes="member: 1572">Hello! Congratulations on both your TC offers - difficult position to be in to have to decide but also love all this success you're having!I don't know much about either firm but some of my initial thoughts based on your post are:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Culture/people - This is always a bit of a difficult one because theres no guarantee that the people you met on your VS (associates/trainees/partners) will be there once you start working and different teams often have different cultures even within the same law firm. Also, with any organisation your working in, you will always come across people you don't like. I would try not to put too much emphasis on this.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">The work - I think this should be the main deciding factor. If you are drawn to MdR's work more then that's a really strong case to choose them, especially since it's not the kind of work you'd be exposed to at Macfarlanes. </li> </ol>Echoing what everyone else has said, you should absolutely reach out to people at MdR. As someone who was in a similar position about a year ago, the one thing I'd say is, try your best to ignore what other people say. Sure, get their opinion and of course speak to some lawyers for more information that will help your decision, but the choice you make should really come down to what you want to do regardless of what other people think you should do - because that's the only way you won't have regrets and you won't keep wondering "what if" after you've signed the offer.</blockquote>
