Message: <blockquote data-quote="George Maxwell" data-source="post: 91950" data-attributes="member: 17165">Hi [USER=18027]@BigThrowaway[/USER],First of all, I think we should acknowledge that getting a training contract offer as a paralegal is really impressive. I am really sorry to hear that you have been having such a rotten time.I think [USER=1]@Jaysen[/USER] raises some very good points on this. To caveat my thoughts, I am not a recruiter, and do not have experience in legal recruitment. However, I cannot see a future recruiter seeing this as anything other than brave/impressive. Not many applicants would have the confidence or maturity to turn down an offer for this reason.From my perspective, this seems like a huge shame, but if you are not going to flourish and there is no escaping this person, accepting a training contract seems inadvisable. You ultimately want to train somewhere to train where you are going to develop and grow.If at all possible, however, raising this with the other Partner and/or HR seems to be a sensible idea. Exhausting your options before you turn down the offer strikes me as a wise approach.P.s., I hope that your name is not referencing your post! It sounds like you are going about this in exactly the right way (i.e., you are considering your options and seeking advice). Ultimately, if this firm is not right for you, this decision is not a "Big Throwaway", but a well-reasoned, mature one. I do not think it would be the right decision to train somewhere that you think you will be miserable.</blockquote>
