I’m a one-year qualified assistant working in the property department of a decent London firm. I’ve been thinking about a change for a while as I find property a bit repetitive and have been looking around for legal jobs in banking as it seems to have more career opportunities.
I’ve been to two interviews so far – one in a more general finance team of a UK firm and one at a US law firm that does a lot of securitisation – but I’m worried these many not be the most stable areas to be in after all the recent headlines about the market. Should I stay put or go for it? How likely are law firms to start shedding jobs in these areas?
