[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 34974, member: 2672"] Partnership will still be possible in non transactional teams (just have a look on their websites and on LinkedIn). But partnership is one a long way off (15+ years) and I think you need to think mode carefully about which department you want to qualify into first. You are not going to become a partner in a department you aren’t committed to. Moving at NQ stage will be difficult but not impossible. It will depend on your experience during your TC, it will also depend on what the job market is like at the time (might be at an advantage that the talent pool of qualified lawyers will dip slightly due to deferred intakes). NQ roles tend to be more available in either first growing or not necessarily popular teams - so really PE which is established and popular. My advice is look on LinkedIn for people who have your firm and US firms on their profile - you can filter by current employer. Look at the groups they are working in - this will give you an indication of what is more likely or not. From those in my network, 2-3 years PQE is far more common as talent tends to move firms more at this stage, and do vacancies become available - also a lot of talent leaves at around 2-3 PQE, whether that’s leaving the city or leaving the profession full stop.
