“I am in my fourth seat at a magic circle firm. I have the option to qualify into one of the departments that I have completed a seat in, but my interest has long been in IP/IT law. I have previous industry experience of the IT sector, and in future I think I would enjoy going in-house in this area.

“Should I leave the firm I’m at and try to qualify into this area at a different firm, or would this be a bad idea? Should I just stick with what I have, and maybe try to move in a few years?”
