12 May 2013 Does the firm that an articled assistant goes to has got anything to do with standing a better chance at the final job interview?
Like,does the one who worked at a big four or the one with industrial training stand a better chance at the interview than the one who went to a small firm,other things remaining constant?
And is a big firm better to work at than a small one apart from the fact that they pay you more and lets you specialize on something?
Also isn't specializing on a particular thing limiting the exposure and the variety of work that one gets working with a small firm?

Thanks a lot in advance!

27 June 2013 Big is always big as they have reputation and goodwill to their credit but it is not always true. It is the person who appears for interview and if he has the potential then it is not material whether he is from Big 4 or small 4. So remove this from your mind that only big 4 are doing better in the market. Sometimes in interview if the person is from big 4 then the expectation is also big and the interviewer asks question of high level and if he fails to answer that question then big 4 becomes Zero.
