Message: <blockquote data-quote="LM" data-source="post: 48536" data-attributes="member: 9535">Thanks, [USER=487]@Daniel Boden[/USER]. I shall answer all your questions individually. Question 1 - I don't know how others in the TCLA community have felt about the GDL/LPC process, but I found the whole experience to be somewhat rushed. I was never able to engage in discussions about certain topics and I found that to be deeply unsatisfying. Now that I have been qualified for a while, I feel that I have a much clearer understanding about what area of law I am interested in and where I see my career going, and this further study compliments that. This is the first reason. The second reason is because, as you get older, life gets in the way of these opportunities and I want to seize these opportunities while I am still able to. Question 2 - This goes back to a question I responded to earlier. Primarily it was because I felt this particular firm didn't close any doors to possible career  paths and in fact, introduced me to doors I didn't even realise were there. Further, I love my department and the people I work with and I genuinely enjoy going to work each day, doing the type of work I specialize in. Question 3 - It is a big jump. There is much less support when you become an Associate and the amount of work you have to juggle increases exponentially. However, the two years of training prepares you (somewhat for this) and you are able to handle matters on your own when the time comes. So overall, the workload increases and so does your involvement on the actual deal itself.</blockquote>
