UK firms remain wary despite elevated recruitment figures

"Magic Cirlce Partner" your arrogance is staggering. An oxbridge 1st commits to working for an MC firm where he/she may have many other options, he/she deserves an open and honest account of hiring and firing policies to assess long term prospects. If the candidate is put into a capital market practice which is cyclical he should have some confidence that his skills can be transferred into say litigation not dumped at the first sign of a downturn. The fact is that MC candidates once having practiced for a few years in a cyclical practice are not actually employable outside the MC, so you see the 1st from Oxbridge has been misled. Definately more tranpsarency and better career managment practices are needed unless you are prepared to pay such huge salaries so that people can retire early.
