Qualified interviews tend to be a lot more skills and knowledge based and going into some of the details of the matters you have worked on, how you have worked with clients etc.How easy is it to train at solid silver circle firms such as Travers and Macfarlanes/NRF and move ‘up’ to either Magic Circle or US firms?
And what is the hiring process for moving laterally once qualified. Is it the same style process i.e., motivational, competencies etc?
Any thoughts? @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker
Your ability to move is going to depend on a variety of factors, so is near impossible to determine at this stage. It will depend on where you qualify into, your experience as a trainee, and how in demand those lawyers are at the time
I would do a search on LinkedIn, searching one of the firms you have listed and some MC firms names and then filter by people. You can set the filters so you search by the firm they are at now, so by selecting the MC firms you’ll get a sense of how many people have moved between on firm to a small range of others.
