I was with Transactions (and maybe it is a me issue) and it made me brain dead. I almost never knew why was I doing what was I doing. Maybe it was a team problem too but you’ll never know the background ever until you are much senior. You’ll just be told the transaction structure that’s about it. Law firms have precedents for everything especially he transactions team. The even cut copy paste the emails they have already sent on the issue- so you’ll have little space to show your creativity. Another thing I noticed was that transactions team hated reading the law.
But maybe it can interest you if you have genuine interest in the market.
I honestly would want to work outside the country as well later in life so that is also something.
