Agree that B4 is insulated in the sense that everything is cleared by partners beforehand and you are not given real responsibility until quite a fair bit into your career, but it is also gruelling and gives you solid technical grounding. Once you have these two things you will usually excel in the intl firms (my fellow assocs who move into internationals always impress the partners with their work.. and they're not even trying nearly as hard as they had to in B4).

Re first para, you’re only partially correct.
You know. I know. That much needs to be said on an anonymous forum.
In B4, it’s like BMT, if you press on you can still make it.
It does not work the same way in international firms.
Technical skills are the basic expectation, rightfully so when they pay you $20k a month at 2PQE.
But… navigating the maze of politics which is more intense than big 4, and a whole range of other things that you are only privy to when you’re in such a firm, is not something your fch can help you with.
