it's true you (have to) learn the most in the first two years. and that brings me to my next point.

uh. other disputes practitioners can chime in but this is too sweeping a statement. If you want to act for B4 clients, then yes. but in terms of learning the trade,
imho disputes is the one area where the playing field is pretty level amongst firms as it's largely based on the mentoring you get from the lead counsel (cf corporate work where firm brand plays a larger role).
So more relevant to look at who is likely to be your mentor.
E.g. would you turn down an offer from Michael Hwang chambers over B4 disputes?
