Honestly at least after manager. Sweet spot is M1, M2 or SM1. Before that you are not going to land roles with great pay or opportunity, or at least not a lot of future growth. Beyond that you’ll be overqualified.

If so have you found it "worth" the year of your time? I am currently working at a firm that specializes mostly on commercial law and has a lot of foreign clients.
