Hi,
I have a 1st class degree from leading Irish University (top 8%) and I also have an LLM from Cambridge (2.1). I have secured a training contract with Allen & Overy and also one with the leading Irish firm.
A huge part of me wants to stay in Ireland for the time being but I am concerned that if I don't accept A&O it will restrict my future career goals. I want to eventually do a masters in Columbia or Standford (assuming I get in - anyone have an opinion on that), and then practice in NY for a major firm. Would I improve my chances of doing this dramatically if I went to Allen & Overy?
Thanks.
