[QUOTE="xMontmorency, post: 217575, member: 32743"] They hire c10 trainees. In terms of numbers this is not unique at all. The only difference is that they've never had trainees before (cf those with more established training contracts). That can be good or bad depending on how you spin it. Positives - Higher ceiling (i.e. lack of a fixed expectation of what a trainee should be doing or can do) - Might be treated like a junior associate (more freedom) - You probably get to decide yourself how the trainee system should work - It's new? Negatives - Less structure - Less support - More likely to be in the spotlight - Might be treated like a glorified paralegal - Might be treated like a junior associate (higher expectations) [/QUOTE]
