    Rejected from Willkie Farr's open day. I guess that makes sense, honestly. I got their written exercise once. Focusing on different firms makes sense. Mostly successful with white shoe firms. However, that's a small group obviously.

    That varies so much by firm. I've had 18% (I didn't convert). I've had 50% before (converted it). You can often work that out. Find out how many ACs on. Find out how many at each. Then compare to VS spaces etc.

    I get the sense two helps. You might not sit in one. Similarly, you've got to do several.

    That should not be an issue. I cut out in Travers interview. They get that tech often fails. Some firms get Ds for Legal Tech. This is Legal Cheek survey data. Things not working =/= your fault. At least not all the time.

    Some direct TC apps to UK firms. US firms pay more hence they get most of my attention. I’ve never had any luck with MC firms really. US firms I’m weirdly successful with - last cycle I got Latham AC, W&C AC and Ropes VS. UK firms don’t want me it would seem. This time neither type of firm seems to.

    It doesn’t feel like that honestly. Just rejection so far this cycle. No open days no ACs nothing.

    Thanks. I’m no more blunt than some of the lawyers I’ve met. Plus the updates are meant for encouragement. People may well feel put off by them, but I post them to hold myself accountable, no one else.

    100% unlikely - someone will mess up. Slaughters’ Easter scheme may have changed. I appreciate people’s feedback on here. I’m not in a good place. This forum is very useful honestly.

    Slaughters work experience was not assessed. Debevoise I wasn’t a team player. Travers I messed up written task. Ropes & Gray written task again.

    I think it’s more being neurodiverse. Possibly a focus on US firms. I don’t know honestly.
