HI guys. I am a final year British law student and I am having trouble deciding whether I should pursue the JD degree or the LLM degree. Now I have a job offer (training contract) from a good British law firm but the salary cannot compare with US rate salary (only half for the newly qualifed solicitor).

I want to ask do law firms in new york have the need to recruit some british solicitors if a british solicitor has some working experience and then completes a US LLM and has a new york Bar? In which practice area? Thank you so much.
