I'm currently an associate at a big law firm in the US doing general corporate law and I want to make a move to London for an in-house position. I've noticed that many job postings require UK qualification, but I'm curious if companies would consider a US-qualified attorney. If anyone has made this move how did you do it? I would rather not work at a firm in London.

There are companies that consider US qualified lawyers in London. You need to look for positions that are advertised as seeking a US qualified lawyer though. That said, you can get UK qualification in England by taking the SQE and having 2 years work experience.

I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

Shower thought:
Why did Toronto (or Canada?) change the exit signs from the classic red EXIT sign to the green running man? Wouldn’t it confuse more people especially elders in finding the exit?
