Would there be anything to stop you applying for the TC, then applying again for the VS in October if you were unsuccessful this round?- Jacob Miller

My very difficult situation
By January you ought to also have Year 3 Semester 1 results too, no? I would say it's 100% worth making applications - it's super cliche but you'll never win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket. I can't comment on precisely what firms you should apply for, but generally a good mix of types...- Jacob Miller

No I'm talking about this evening - it's the same guy, but it's gone public that he's just shorted Tesla very recently :)- Jacob Miller

My very difficult situation
In terms of your A-level grades, don't panic too much: firms will give heed to mitigating circumstances for grades. Similarly, with university, if you have any mitigating circumstances there, these are worth mentioning too so that firms can take these into account. In Scotland, you're also at...- Jacob Miller

There's a wee segment at the bottom covering tips for written studies too from a technique/ approach perspective, hopefully they'll help to a degree even though they're a bit more generalised :)- Jacob Miller

TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
If I've had plenty of time to prep for it in advance, I tend to only do some very light recaps over key motivations etc but otherwise try to chill out. I was usually in a hotel the night before AC's so my usual routine would be finishing working by the back of 7 or so, order food to the hotel...- Jacob Miller

A Recipea for Success? Nestlé’s Plant-Based ‘Milk’ Brand
The general rise of plant-based meat and animal by-product alternatives is a really interesting one for sure. It's not something I've jumped into myself - I'm a carnivore at heart and only like cow's milk! - but my fiancée drinks exclusively plant-based milks and my mum is a vegetarian, so I'm...- Jacob Miller

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
So I always approached questions like this by creating a big mind map of all the current areas the given firm services, and also parallel mind maps of the service offerings of other firms in a similar bracket. Look for areas that either 1) your firm isn't offering in which others are that make...- Jacob Miller

Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*
Based in Scotland for the next 12 days or so! Big move to London after that. Yeah its something I've been asked a lot about - I've always just been very honest and said that I feel the London Market is more exciting, dynamic, diverse etc than the Scottish legal market. I think you can do more...- Jacob Miller

TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
Some great advice has already been given and there's really not an enormous amount for me to add. Digging down into questions to figure out what's actually being asked on the spot is something of an intuition that develops with time - there will always be curveball questions though, at the end...- Jacob Miller

Whats up with the lack of Guys and POC in AC's?
I think the single biggest issue at the minute is an underappreciation of the importance of intersectionality in the D&I context. The use of single-metric (e.g. BAME) access to D&I schemes can result in flawed outcomes in situations where true diversity isn't actually achieved. It's...- Jacob Miller

I think a bit of both is fine here. I'd probably do something like :Hi, I'm X. I'm currently completing Y degree from Z university. I've previously worked at ABC and in my spare time I enjoy DEF" :)- Jacob Miller

Thank you! As I say, still got a way to go and more to learn but it's nice to start seeing some results! Music is definitely an amazing outlet and boosts morale hugely. I also sing - mainly in the shower or car now it has to be said, I used to do weddings but that fell by the wayside as I got...- Jacob Miller
