[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 90663, member: 16764"] This really depends. Quality of clients can be quite practice area-specific and of course depend on the region in which the firm is operating. US firms will likely have a more diverse array of interesting clients in the US and the same can be said for UK firms in the UK, whilst there are a couple firms that can be considered truly global. Quality of work comes down to what practice area you want to work in - Magic Circle and US do not have anywhere near the private client expertise of Macfarlanes, for example. If it's international opportunities you're after, you can't go too wrong with US firms which tend to be international by default, considering their London office is already an international office. US firms and Magic Circle probably have longer work hours than Silver Circle on average, but in corporate departments you can bet the hours will be long at all of these firms. Ultimately, it is all a matter of personal preference and the groupings themselves are not as important as the traits of the individual firms. [/QUOTE]
