Hi, in your experience, does being physically in London enhance your possibility of being hired as an associate lawyer at an international law firm (I live abroad but I could go live in London if I wanted to, I'll soon be qualified to practise as a solicitor) ? Thank you very much in advance.

Should I transition to a tech sales job? Thoughts on risk vs reward? I am 34 yo, married with a baby incoming.

I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.
