[QUOTE="whisperingrock, post: 80400, member: 7657"] It's not uncommon by any means, and It's going to depend on what area you choose to qualify into, the quality of the work you did, and how the market is standing at the time. Where you trained may matter but not as much unless the differences are stark in terms of clients and the type of work. Easiest way to see how likely the move is to see if anyone at your TC firm did end up going to a US firm you're interested in. If asking this question is prompted by the big salary increases that have been written about lately, remember that you earn that money in blood sweat and tears. Several of my close friends [I]were[/I] associates at US firms and left for the likes of MC firms because the money just isn't worth never having a moments rest from work. [/QUOTE]
