Career Clinic: High street TC or big firm paralegal?
"I recently rather reluctantly signed a training contract with a high street law firm. However, I have just been offered a paralegal role at a more reputable firm, with a view to a training contract. I'm not sure what to do, as I would much rather work for this firm. What would the implications be if I was to break the training contract, and would this be the advisable thing to do?"
