    I feel your pain, my previous job was as a finance manager doing bank reconciliations and balance sheets etc etc....you can easily go number blind. I enjoyed doing payroll though!

    It really depends on the firm. I like to search for the firm on The Lawyer etc and read up on their deals etc so depends on how much they have been involved in. I would say as a ballpark that I spend a solid couple of hours at a minimum

    I completely feel you, Im studying the GDL and working full time (salaried) as well so I completely understand how draining it is when you add TC apps to the list to. I would just focus on the firms that you would regret not applying to and if you can do anymore then great but it's not the be...

    I completely feel your pain, it is so frustrating getting rejections at application stage as you never get any feedback about how to improve for the future. Just know you are not alone, I had a PFO within an hour (!!!!) of submitting an application to a regional firm a few weeks back with no...

    Career Change Success Stories

    Hi! Yes I am but it is very difficult. My employer is very understanding which makes a significant difference and because of covid and working from home I am able to literally open a new tab on my computer and start studying the moment I finish.
