[QUOTE="panon, post: 246644, member: 39614"] Hi [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER] - hope you are well! I have got a vacation scheme coming up at a strong national law firm, and I have been thinking of my seat choices. Personally, there are definitely some seats that I prefer over others, however I'm also genuinely very happy to explore [I]any [/I]area of work. I was wondering if there is a strategy I could apply to seat selection that would allow me higher chances of success towards a TC (evidently, this is dependent on a range of factors but just for a starting point - thinking about it from a 'setting myself up for success' way) 1. Should I go for the biggest departments / teams so that I have access to the more structured support to fall back on, and potentially impress people who have a bigger impact on the firm's revenue stream? 2. Should I choose the areas that firm is "known for" - high Band rankings (this would have some, but not complete overlap, with the above) 3. Or should I select seats in smaller teams, where I can get to know members more closely, and potentially make a clearer impact? Any tips to the selection process would be very appreciated! Thank you so much in advance :) [/QUOTE]
