[QUOTE="LegalLily, post: 79337, member: 10889"] Honestly what ended up swaying it for me was training quality, wide practices strengths and better reputation overall/which one would look better on my CV. One firm I had an offer from was a US firm with a learn as you go, informal training system (which I don't think would make me the best technical lawyer) and they were only ranked for a few of their practices. I think your mindset about NQ salary is right. For me it just wasn't the biggest factor as the different was negligible post tax, plus theres no guarantee I would be retained nor is there any guarantee I would even want to stay. And no tbh I havent had any 'what ifs'. I think that's mainly because I personally know a lot junior lawyers and witness how easy it is for them to jump around firm to firm now they are qualified. So I feel even if I do regret my decision, I recognised its fairly easy to move on as a NQ Good luck with your decision, both firms are amazing! [/QUOTE]
