[QUOTE="Hopeful applicant, post: 246470, member: 43062"] it depends but generally the salaries should move towards that of the bigger office (which in the UK is usually the UK firm's, lower salary). NQ retention can likely drop. To use A&O Sherman as an example: first retention post-merger: 66%, compared to the previous being between 77-92.5 Its important to note though that while the drop can be attributed to integration challenges/seat mismatches, another part of it can come from trainees, who fear uncertainty and/or feel like they did not get what they bargained for (usually those who trained at the smaller office) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thelawyer.com/live-trainee-retention-2026-ao-shearman-kicks-things-off/?failed-login=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
