[QUOTE="Matty900, post: 34944, member: 1703"] I have a TC starting this year at an SC firm. I like the firm but I was hoping to start my career at a US firm. Is it common to move as an NQ? 2PQE seems to be the 'time' to move. I am not solely motivated by money, but my firm pays under 90,000 at NQ level while the US firms on my radar (Kirkland, Latham etc) pay 140,000+. It seems frustrating to work the same hours as those firms (e.g. Private Equity) for significantly less money, especially in London. Also, larger US firms seem to have sophisticated non-transactional departments with better hours (e.g. Litigation, Competition, Financial Regulation etc). Is it possible to move as an NQ in these practice areas? Is the pay in line with US transactional lawyers and is partnership attainable in non-transactional teams? [/QUOTE]
