    Thanks! @James Carrabino, I’ve emailed grad recruitment at those firms but haven’t heard back. I’m sure you’re right, so I’ll just go ahead and add them :)

    Music really helps me! There’s also strong evidence that it can calm us and heighten positive emotions :) Listen to something that makes you feel like the boss sauce that you are!

    Hogan Lovells doesn’t let you apply for a direct tc in the same year: “If your vacation scheme application is unsuccessful, you will need to wait until the following year (from September 2022) to complete a training contract or another vacation scheme application.”

    Does anyone know if we can ask Weil for feedback on our VIs (given that it’s the second last stage before the AC)?

    Sorry, @RoughWood, but I need you to sit down and really reflect on how you could have improved your own Nando's experience. Just like I've had to do with my law firm apps. Did you not try all the different sauces? Did you not get a side of Peri-peri nuts? DID YOU CHOOSE THE RAINBOW SLAW OVER...

    Farrer PFO. My rejection email said the following: “We are very sorry not to be able to offer you a place on our scheme and hope this does not deter you from applying for a training contract with us if you have not already done so.” Genuinely curious if anyone has thoughts on whether it’s...
