[QUOTE="firmfirm, post: 220306, member: 42704"] I used to think US firms generally had worse cultures, but after attending a few open days I’ve realised the vibe really depends on the firm. At one US firm, a trainee was quite rude and grad rec seemed blunt, which put me off applying. At another, both the trainees and grad rec were friendly, which completely changed my view. I’ve noticed that when grad rec is friendly, the trainees usually reflect that energy. And it makes sense because trainees interact with grad rec a lot during their training and often adapt to their vibe to fit in. That’s why I think it’s so important to also pay attention to how grad rec treats people, because it says a lot about the firm’s overall culture. [/QUOTE]
