[QUOTE="3000to1shoteverytime, post: 208364, member: 32484"] Yes I think candidates mistakenly think it may be easier and on occasion it may be because there may indeed be fewer better candidates applying depending which office. Also I know some regional firms look for ties to that region as part of their criteria when assessing applications. This is because they dont want people to train with them and then go off elsewhere as soon as they qualify having invested heavily in them. This was explained to me by a partner at a regional firm I did an insight week at. So having been accepted because of having ties to the region then asking to be switched after TC offer to London which would have different salary, and maintenance grants etc it would not be considered by that firm and he said by most firms. Also they will have assessed the regional applicants against each other and it may be that there were better London applicants who didn't get offers because they were judged against other London applicants so it would not be fair.
