Hahaha tbh I'd just seen an over-the-top post (imo) literally that evening so it was still fresh in my mind! 😂 To be clear this isn't just bashing people posting their successes full stop as I agree it can be useful for many reasons one of which you mentioned @Andrew M. I just think that a...- Daniel Boden

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Just to add my 2 cents on this. Personally, I find some of the long LinkedIn posts incredibly cringeworthy and self-aggrandising to the point where they are almost nauseating. Recently, I saw someone post how they were thrilled to have had the opportunity to APPLY for a vac scheme and I nearly...- Daniel Boden

Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*
Do your research! As basic as it is that is literally the golden rule. I'd advise you to research index funds/passive vs actively managed funds etc. There are loads of very good videos on youtube but these ones by Ali Abdaal and Graham Stephan are particularly good.- Daniel Boden

@Numerius Negidius but yes just to add to @Jessica Booker's point, if you don't have a 3 year law degree, you can only really qualify in California once you're qualified as a lawyer in the UK because the New York bar would be unavailable to you as a non-law graduate (unless you do an LLM in the US)- Daniel Boden

Tbh from my experience, I think @Numerius Negidius is right in that it is significantly easier to work in the US when you have that grounding in a US firm in London or wherever you are. As long as you are able to pass the required bar exam, the fact you have the internal network of the firm...- Daniel Boden

Couldn't agree more - very well said! I know @Jaysen can speak from experience where I believe he rejected a TC offer from a firm because he thought another firm would be better suited for his needs/career plans so I don't think we should be criticising someone for staying true to their career...- Daniel Boden

Pre Employment Checks
Just as a heads up, for my vac scheme with Weil a couple of years ago they did a full background check and we had to provide various documents to ensure there were no conflicts with any of the firm's clients or matters. I imagine that was to minimise the paperwork following the TC. Same thing...- Daniel Boden
