WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ONLY FIRST WATCHED IT 18 MONTHS AGO!?!?!?! In all seriousness, I echo both of your sentiments - it really is great at making the complex elements easy to understand (I for one didn't have a clue how/what CDOs worked/what they were and tbh am still not 100% sure haha) and...- Daniel Boden

In addition to the excellent podcast suggestions already mentioned, a number of firms produced webinars for clients that you can watch on youtube - I remember @Raam and I studying Dechert's private equity webinars in a lot of depth before our schemes last year! In addition to these, Watson's...- Daniel Boden

You technically have until 2032 to do the LPC but yeah it will just depend on the firm as many will switch to the SQE and will no longer use the LPC- Daniel Boden

Some advice for my next steps (after GDL)
I'd heard that the LPC was a bit more relaxed than the GDL course... (at least the full-time version - accelerated may be different) so I imagine you'll definitely be able to do applications throughout the LPC if you could afford to do it. A lot of my friends who haven't secured TCs this year...- Daniel Boden

I always tried to be within 10% of the word count as a rule so you wouldn't be far off that! I reckon it's fine tbh as long as you're happy with it and there isn't another couple of sentences you think you can add- Daniel Boden

So ironic given that it seems every firm BUT GS is making changes... something tells me if they don't make a significant effort/response the turnover of associates/analysts will be even higher this summer- Daniel Boden

How to find the competitors of the law firms?
Sounds like you're off to a great start! I'd just explain exactly what you have just said there :) E.g. "To answer this question, I think the firm's competitors depend on the different practice areas as one law firm may be a competitor in one area but not in another one. For instance, SH is...- Daniel Boden

I'm curious, would you be willing to share why (feel free to DM if you'd rather not say publicly)? What did the interviewers do or not do that made you feel disappointed especially?- Daniel Boden
