But yes guys please make sure you take time for yourself and have multiple wines/beers/ales if you are so inclined this weekend - it's so important anyway but all the more important we look after ourselves in these difficult COVID times. Remind yourselves you're all doing great for even putting...- Daniel Boden

Rather than categorising US firms vs Magic/Silver Circle firms it's much more nuanced than that and will literally be on a firm by firm basis in my experience. For instance, I had a mixture of 2.1s and 2.2s in my first 2 years of university (still averaged a 2.1 overall) and then got a first...- Daniel Boden

I believe your odds are very good so that should give you a lot of confidence to just be yourself and enjoy the scheme :)- Daniel Boden

Given they take on 79 trainees across the offices, I imagine your odds are pretty good but tbh just focus on doing the best work you can and getting the most of the scheme and you the rest will take care of itself I'm sure :)- Daniel Boden

Yeah for some firms it's more of a box-tick exercise but for others it's a key differentiator but having consistent 2.1s won't be an issue for the majority of firms I imagine :)- Daniel Boden

Would also recommend signing up to the FT's Due Diligence newsletter if you're able to access it! It's brilliant for transactional/M&A news and stories- Daniel Boden

Only thing I'd add to @Jacob Miller's great post is if you've got interviews with PE-focussed firms then definitely have a look at how there's been a huge surge in PE transactional work and restructuring as a result of COVID especially if the firm has PE clients. For instance, Kirkland is tipped...- Daniel Boden

In that case, you have done all you can and as @Jacob Miller and others have said, it is their decision what happens now and is not on you. If they come back to you and tell you that they are getting someone else to sit the exam then I think you have to report it because if it came out that you...- Daniel Boden

LPC Grants - Taxable income?
I would have thought they would count as an educational grant which aren't taxable given they're purely for support purposes whilst we're studying and vaguely remember reading a link that confirmed that let me see if I can find it. Edit 1: Just seen @Jaysen's response which seems to confirm...- Daniel Boden

Are you coming back to the UK at all? For my year abroad a couple of years ago I had maybe a month in between countries so was luckily able to schedule all my interviews in that short 3 or 4 week window haha but I do know that some firms allow you to do interviews virtually and I imagine they'll...- Daniel Boden

An immense sense of relief followed by various hugs and happy tears from me and my family and then a fair bit of celebrating ensued haha Edit: I really wish it would be possible to have those phone calls recorded to replay and go over because they're a pretty special moment!

I hear that but you can just put it as an entry on your profile and achieve the same objective no? Why the need to do a boastful post about an event which you don't need to do anything to get onto other than signing up for it? Absolutely no issue if you want to make a post about what you...- Daniel Boden
