[QUOTE="Velikilawyer123, post: 92942, member: 5277"] Hi all, I'm due to start my TC in 2023 and I've got a few ideas about the practice areas I'm interested in ultimately qualifying into (mostly M&A and/or finance). Of course I'm sure my knowledge / opinions will become much more nuanced as I progress through my seats, but at the moment this is looking to me like the best fit for my interests and goals. Knowing this, and also the fact that my firm offers international and/or client secondments (which I would also very much like to take part in - hence fewer practice areas I might get to experience as standard, London-based seats), when would you recommend doing my preferred seats; near the beginning or end of the TC? On the one hand, doing them later in the TC might be better as I'm more experienced and my performance will be a bit fresher in the partners' minds when it comes to NQ decisions, but on the other, if I leave it to the last moment is there a risk of not getting the seat I want at all?
