    RPC application is sending me into a spiral!!!! Why is it soo bad? Why can’t I save my answers? I’ve started my application 3 weeks ago and never went back in as it kept deleting my answers to the questions. Their awful application website is pushing me to the edge 😭 I’ve now used a word doc but...

    Go and travel! Get a working holiday visa and work abroad whilst applying to direct TC’s from September. You’ll gain a wealth of experience and can definitely hone on wanting to work at an international firm if that’s what you want? I’m in the same boat as you, it’s looking slim my future is...

    @Jessica Booker Is submitting an application the day it opens seen as too keen? Even if they recruit on a rolling basis?

    Thank you for your words of encouragement! I will definitely keep pushing through. I hope you celebrated well with your TC offer!! Appreciate the Eversheds information.

    Application update✨ I’ve changed a few of the firms I’ve applied to/will apply to. I’ve taken out a few US firms as I didn’t see myself getting past the application stage, I’m still debating on Paul Hastings as to whether I should remove them too. I’ve added in a niche firm of Dorsey as I...

    Thank you to everyone for your messages. I really appreciate it, i think I needed some time to just chill and reflect and put the experience in the past rather than be upset about something I couldn’t change and potentially affects my outlook on others firms….. it is what it is at the end of...

    Goodwin rejection post vs. I’ve had sometime to reflect (a mere 2 hours in fact) and have decided I probably won’t be applying to anymore firms. I’m resilient and not a quitter at all but there comes a time when you know what’s right for you. I put my all into this vs went above and beyond and...

    My VS experience Vac scheme completed and I'm absolutely shattered!! I really don't understand how people do these things back to back with other schemes let alone doing 2 week ones. Although my one was very jam packed having been 1 week so super understandable. I will say i had a great...
