Hey guys!

Just looking for some general advice.

I wasn't able to secure a TC this year but I've been offered two jobs: 1) a trade support role at a tier 1 investment bank and 2) a 3-month (law-related) contract role with a financial regulatory body as a document reviewer.

I'm wondering whether you guys think taking one of these roles would support a TC app more than the other and if a 3-month role would look insignificant.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, there just wondering as to how you went about finding the trade support job or a tier 1 banking job, as I feel this is something I would like to try outside of law. Many thanks

Can I ask what your background is as the trade support role sounds very interesting?
