Most people take the opportunity to jump out to a diff firm, fresh start fresh firm, instead of begging for a chance to change (and hoping you catch your bosses at a time where there is an oversupply in your dept, combined with a demand for NQ or inexperienced lawyers in another dept.

So am I! Do you know which firm is friendly to foreign lawyers and there is good progression? I am guessing more international types rather than the large local ones? Thanks!
