How do you choose the right firm?The menu of firms to choose between is bewildering. Researching them all would be a waste of time. Increase your prospect of getting a job by choosing the firm that suits you.
Step 1: work out what matters in your life – not what others expect of you Consider how you respond to stress, work/life balance, how much autonomy you can handle, what subject matter gets you going, how you build and rely on personal relation-ships, and whether prestige motivates you. Will you become a pillar of your local business community or a jet-setting deal-maker? Do you thrive in disorder or need to control every-thing? Are you buttoned-up or dress down? Aggressive or collaborative?
Step 2: refine your searchShortlist cities and regions. Then pick some practice areas you think you’d thrive in – firms will be looking for someone with focus and passion. The practice area reviews in this guide will make sense of your options. The chambers-associate.com search will round down the firms you should look at.
Step 3: read the introductionsOpen the Inside View and read the first few paragraphs. Does it sound like your bag? Remember your wish list from Step 1 and have a look at our reviews of the firm culture, in particular. Bookmark all the firms that stand out.
Step 4: compare your shortlistUse the comparison function on chambers-associate.com to compare your firms on every factor that counts: salary, pro bono, billables, diversity stats, size of firm, Chambers rank-ings, international offices, maternity allowance…
