I’ve not heard back from RPC post-app (I applied two weeks ish before the deadline). Do they send their WG invites in batches?

I’m guessing a lot of grad rec are on holiday hence why there hasn’t been that many responses for TC applications? Cause no idea what’s going on

Hello everyone, this is off topic, but I’ve just been offered a paralegal position at a law firm in a home county. Wondering how you negotiate salary and what to look out for in the offer? I’m also curious what’s the going rate for paralegals in Home Counties. @Jessica Booker will it be ok if I private message you for advice?

 

[A worried graduate]

Sure!

I asked a friend and here’s her advice:

I think the easiest way to transition is through grad schemes (1-2 year programmes). Banks like Lloyds, HSBC, Barclays etc all have graduate programmes open to all degrees.

If you check banking recruitment pages, you should find quite a few stream option (capital markets, private clients, IB, commercial banking etc).

I would also sign up to the mailing list so you’re notified when the scheme apps start and apply early as possible. She applied for a grad programme in May and was through the whole process by early June.

happy to help anyone out with more info - just PM me

Which ones are still open?

Anyone heard from Morgan Lewis post TI?

Not yet, I was told it would be either last Friday or sometime today. Did they tell you the same thing?

 

[Kseh05]

Anyone heard from Morgan Lewis post TI?

Also, when did you have the TI if I may ask?

 

[EzeLaylor]

How do I find these jobs?

Best thing is to search bank websites and graduate job sites like target jobs.

Even if they are not, it is a very busy time for graduate recruitment with summer vacation schemes, preparing for the next recruitment cycle, preparing for trainee inductions, planning seat rotations, on-boarding trainees to law school etc.

Its probably the busiest time of year for many of those teams.

The Home Counties is a pretty broad salary range in itself due to the variety of locations.

You can PM me, but I won't have specific knowledge about salaries for firms.
