I'm a current trainee at the London office of a mid-sized UK firm (think Kingsley Napley, Irwin Mitchell etc) and I'd like some advice...
I'm enjoying my TC but I'm worried about my options as an NQ.
I turned down larger, more corporate firms as I didn't like the idea of potentially spending most of my time tied up with stuff like M&A/PE.
After my TC I think I'd like to move to a bigger firm - not MC/US but somewhere I could get more exposure to bigger/international work (somewhere like DLA Piper or Dentons). I'm now slightly worried as my firm doesn't have international offices and looking at what other people tend to do it tends to be bigger firms>smaller firms and not the other way around.
Help! I'm worried I've cut off my options before I've even qualified.
