[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 92786, member: 17155"] Hi Daniele! Congratulations on getting an opportunity to train at the firm you're working at currently- this is a big achievement and you should be very proud of yourself. I guess the first question to ask is whether there are any specific areas of law that you're interested in practising in/exploring outside of private equity/asset management? I understand the fear of specialising too early on, but if there isn't anything specific that you feel you might miss out on, maybe it's worth taking on the in-house training contract purely based on the facts that you 1) enjoying working at the firm 2) the quality of training will be high and 3) the work you will be doing genuinely interests you. About the ease of moving into private practice as an associate later on- I think [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] is best placed to give advice on this. I do know of people who have trained in one area and then gone on to work in completely different areas, but I am not sure how they did this and the obstacles (if any) they faced in making the move.
