"I am a 2PQE disputes associate at a City firm. I am looking to leave, but I am worried that prospective employers may be concerned by the fact that they would be my fourth different employer in my legal career so far. "Would a track record of regularly moving firms in my junior years blunt my partnership prospects? I do not want to be pigeoned-holed as a career senior associate/of counsel. "Is this a valid concern, or is it only billings and personal qualities that matter when firms consider promotions?"
