In the latest instalment in our Career Conundrums series, a newly qualified solicitor is weighing up their career options at home and abroad.
“I am a soon-to-be newly qualified lawyer at a City firm, although am not looking to stay on after qualifying due to a lack of positions in my preferred practice areas. I am hearing through friends and recruiters that the NQ market is fairly quiet at the moment, and was wondering if anyone had some advice on navigating this? I am also open to roles abroad, e.g. in Europe or Dubai. I don’t know what the general consensus on this is? Are the markets out there any better? And what impact will this have on my career if I choose to return to London a few years down the line? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.”
