UK firms remain wary despite elevated recruitment figures

Comment

I am the lawyer trained with MC with 1st class from oxbridge. i actually stayed with my firm just short of 2 years until i was managed out by negative performance appraisals which were totally ridiculous since before the appraisals all i got was rave reviews. I also heard many lawyers in all MCs had their pay frozen even though they were still being charged out at same rate. at the time i was managed out no less than 6 juniors left mysteriously not even giving their notice. this is way before the redundancy. since then i have found that my pqe doesnt matter as i dont have more than 2 years pqe, am being treated as an NQ ! also my experience is so specialised that i am told i dont have transferable skills. may be i should have done what the more savvy lawyer in my department did- slept with a senior partner. that sure worked for her.
