[QUOTE="gallof, post: 89552, member: 17387"] Hi, I'm interested in the energy sector, and can potentially shape my entire TC around energy by completing seats in energy-focused practice areas such as Energy Finance, Corporate Energy, Energy Disputes, and a secondment at an energy client. I assume that by the end of the TC, I should become a decent specialist in that particular sector. What do you think the pros and cons of this approach are? Also, how beneficial will my TC experience be if I decide to move in-house at some point in the future or make a lateral move to an energy-oriented law firm (e.g. V&E or Baker Botts)? An alternative may be to complete one energy seat and see if I like other practice areas which are less sector-specific, such as Banking, General Commercial Disputes, General Corporate M&A, Employment, Tax, etc. On the one hand, I'm worried that if I decide to do an energy-focused TC and by the middle/end of it I lose my interest in that sector, I may end up qualifying in a practice area I don't like anymore. On the other hand, if I try different sectors and end up liking energy, I will have missed the opportunities to gain deeper understanding of the industry. Will greatly appreciate your opinions on this! [/QUOTE]
