Message: <blockquote data-quote="NJS" data-source="post: 187230" data-attributes="member: 15269">American firms do a lot my finance related work and a lot a PE heavy, they also promise more early responsibility, you can get stuck into the tasks from day one and feel extremely important, UK firms have bigger intakes so have more rigid training.I don't think there should be a huge difference, at the end of the day each firm application should be different regardless of where you are applying because it should be specific to that firm, you just need to be clear why you would prefer a US firm over a UK one and vise versa (avoid saying the remuneration lol), for me it genuinely is because of the early responsibility, l learn much better on the job then having a PowerPoint training session, and I have a interest in finance, so have a think about what you like, and a US firm may suit you.I think the best piece of advice I have been given is this... at the end of the day, the firm is employing you to work there, you are an employee, and you will be part of the business, they need to be sure, and you do too, that you enjoy the work they do, if you hate PE for example, and love international arbitration, then you would need to think what firms would be suit you. You need to showcase an interest in the WORK THEY DO, because at the end of the day you will spend 99% of your time there doing the work; talking about culture and diversity etc... is good if it important to you, but you are not getting employed to be a culture rep, your are being employed to do their work for their clients, clients are number one to these firms.</blockquote>
