I am a third-seat trainee with a top 10 City firm. I am Chinese and have done Chinese law in China, followed by the LLM with a good university in the UK and GDL and LPC in London with BPP Law School. I am about to qualify into either banking or corporate.

My dilemma is whether to stay in the UK with my current firm or apply to another practice in China – perhaps Hong Kong or Shanghai – upon qualification. I thoroughly enjoy the UK lifestyle but have a feeling my career prospects might be better over in China, even though I realise making partner will not be easy.
