[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 46573, member: 1160"] I agree with what [USER=1572]@Dheepa[/USER] says here. For me, the style of training offered by Freshfields and other MC firms was a big draw for me and the level of mentoring you get along with that - it was the key thing which really saw me switch tact in my second cycle.
