[QUOTE="hopefullyalawyersoon, post: 231647, member: 30360"] Hey guys, my mate and I were discussing about their TC decision that I would love to hear your thoughts as I’m personally on a different path (my goal is mid size firms with niche seats so I don’t really have much to contribute). For context, my mate got an offer from a US firm. But the thing is - this US firm is not the “popular” ones like Kirkland/latham/etc. I do see people applying to this US firm on here but tbf it is quite under-hyped for its reputation. My mate’s current career has people moving in TCs all the time, and they always move to Magic Circle firms for their TCs. Their concern is whether it would be an issue with moving firms from “non-popular” US firm and whether the “reputation” is comparable to MCs? I appreciate all constructive discussions but please refrain from comments like “your mate should be grateful etc etc”. I have seen my mate work hard and build their CV so please be nice. I know many will ask and I received permission to share about my mate’s background: did law, initially did not pursue law as progression at their current role was promised to be quicker, pivoting back as their role was not as fast-paced/challenging. Side note (for myself!) anyone heard back from IM? [/QUOTE]
