Level: 3 PQE (AUS) → 1 PQE (UK)
Move: Market Leading Firm to International Firm
Practice Area: Construction Litigation
Location: Brisbane to London
"When this candidate first expressed interest in relocating to London, I was initially cautious. The UK market had been somewhat resistant to Australian-qualified candidates, especially at the junior level. However, after thoroughly reviewing his experience and background, it became clear that he had the skills and qualifications needed to succeed in London.
While many firms were focused on hiring local talent, one prestigious international firm quickly recognized his potential after the first interview. Despite the interview being more technical than expected, he felt well-prepared thanks to our in-depth interview preparation process. We also worked closely to schedule his interviews at optimal times to ensure he was at his best, balancing flexibility with readiness.
When the offer came in, the salary initially proposed didn’t align with the firm’s newly updated pay scale. Drawing on my knowledge of recent market trends, I was able to negotiate a revised salary that better reflected his value.
In the end, the candidate was thrilled with the outcome and is eager to start his next chapter in the London market."
