[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 48591, member: 2672"] I think that would be tricky. Your experience will not be aligned to what other candidates in the market have, where they have gained direct experience in those generalist areas. I have known it to happen but it’s typically where the associate has gained very specific sector experience and developed strong knowledge of a set of clients (the two that stand out for me are someone who had oil and gas experience, and another with a strong pharmaceutical client roster) and the firm really needed someone to come in with that expertise more so than the specific “core practice” knowledge.
