Will be joining a disputes team at a tier 1 as an A0 next year as many of my internships incidentally were in that area. However, I've heard the pay disparity is very high, so I was wondering if a switch is possible at this stage. Corp experience would also allow a shift to in house at some point which (in my limited knowledge) disputes doesn't.

The pay in disputes is lower than in corporate?

Yeah, much lower and negligible bonuses compared to corporate, I've heard.

This is not true, only L&L pays less in disputes team.

Also, would it be possible to make a shift from corp to disputes at say the A2-SA1 level? I find myself at the other end of the question - have corp internships and call-back but an eventual goal of entering litigation
