Private equity partners take centre spotlight for our latest podcast snippet: are they worried about the impact of Labour on their sector? Check out Catrin Griffiths' take on our podcast election special.

What do you wish you'd known at the age of 25?   Qualification can be a fork in the road. You might have set your heart on a particular seat and not got it. What happens next? Do you change your long-term plans? Do you improvise? Do you persist and make a big life decision like move cities? It's a fascinating test of the choices you make and the choices that you're given.    Christian Smith, Lucie Cruz, Charlotte Lear and I are discussing this in our next podcast - and for an accompanying long read - and we'd love to hear from you, whether you're qualifying now, or you're further along in your career and have wisdom to share. Email me (or Christian, Lucie or Charlotte): catrin.griffiths@thelawyer.com - it's absolutely up to you whether you want to be attributed or not. (Thanks also to Lucy Floydd who will be editing this episode!)
