Thanks both! Nope, my boss told me that my dept has been satisfied with my performance.

What's the usual probation period for NQs (esp. those who have been retained by their firms)?

There is "probation" for NQs in my firm (big 4), but it's not what you're describing. Probation here is for 1-2 years (depending on the firm) post-training whereby if you leave within that period, you forfeit your part B fees.

The "probation" you're describing is rather that the firm reserves the right to terminate your employment for any reason within a certain period, which we only do here for borderline performers.

Maybe make an account on this forum and have them dm you directly if anyone knows anything. Most people won't wanna share information like that publicly.

Like the other poster said, there's a "probation" for retained trainees in Big4 firms - if you leave during this "probation" period, you will be asked to pay the firm back for your Part B fees. When I trained at a big4 firm a couple of years back, this period was 6 months. This is the lower end, and other firms impose longer periods.

As for the "probation" viz employment, generally the period is around 6 months - this usually applies for lateral hires, rather than retained trainees. In all honesty, since they already know your working style and your fit, and because they're saying that they are fine with your work performance, this "probation" is probably just the firm trying to protect itself and have the option to let you go should it not be able to afford your salary.

I think that Big4 firms generally don't have this scheme. You could try applying straight up for full associate roles in law firms though, nothing stopping you from trying, assuming that you get called to the bar.
