[QUOTE="ecalthorpe, post: 210771, member: 40489"] I think I already know what people are going to say to this, but here goes. Basically, I've recently been getting a strong desire to apply for more/different Training Contracts, even though I already have one at a good City firm. I switched to law quite late (just before graduating) and only applied to a few places (no MC or even top US firms) and secured a direct TC at a good Silver Circle outlet. I accepted quickly, then just stopped trying. I don't want to sound ungrateful, to anyone on here or to the firm I have a TC at. I know how hard these things are to get, and part of me knows that a lot of my dissatisfaction is ego-driven. But ever since starting the GDL I've met loads of people at MC firms, White & Case, Kirkland, etc, and part of me knows that if I'd tried harder, I could have got a more prestigious TC. I also worry that it is going to affect my future career/ exit opportunities. I don't know if switching TCs is even possible, or whether there's some sort of SRA restriction (it would make sense if there was). I've met a couple of people that have switched TCs, but they did it before starting the GDL. Does anyone have any experience with this/general advice? [/QUOTE]
