Quite a sad TC unsuccessful story
I have never seen positions advertised for compliance analyst but I will definitely take a look, it sounds like a good idea! Thank you for the tip! Honestly, most people I see getting TCs are still 2nd year students, but it is encouraging to see many people start this after their mid-20s.- atrumregina1

Quite a sad TC unsuccessful story
Hi! Thanks for the idea, I have signed up but I haven't received anything valuable yet other than some extremely low paying paralegal jobs (which unfortunately I cannot take as I won't be able to afford rent). I do not know what I will move on to. I have dedicated my life to study and work in...- atrumregina1

Quite a sad TC unsuccessful story
I just wanted to write an update on here, as I did not expect people to see this post. Unfortunately, this cycle has been another unsuccessful attempt to secure a TC. In all honesty, I have drafted 15 applications (which in comparison to how many applications other people do I know it's not a...- atrumregina1

Quite a sad TC unsuccessful story
So I work as in-house paralegal but it is a fixed term role that will end soon. Kinda demotivating as I cannot even use it towards SQE (at least not for the full 2 year requirement) 75 applications is pretty impressive tbh, I admire people who go through so many! I am more strategic with my...- atrumregina1

Quite a sad TC unsuccessful story
This is very encouraging to hear, I appreciate it! I agree - I have filmed myself and I can tell that I sound rehearsed because I try to cram in all these USPs about myself and I have answered the three whys multiple times to know by heart. However, I struggle to get past application stage...- atrumregina1

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
I would think that the way to identify competitors would be: a) practice areas - find which areas the firm seems to have strength in OR aim to increase its strength in b) MC vs US (this is pretty obvious) c) client base or client target groups (for example who are their clients and which clients...- atrumregina1

Difficult Interview Questions
I think it’s important to show that taking the blame is difficult but it is not your place to throw a colleague under the bus for making a mistake so I personally answered that I did not assume the blame but I tried to ensure the customer that the mistake would not be repeated and apologised for...- atrumregina1

I can definitely relate to this as I tend to get rejections very personally and it's absolutely gruelling to get back on the game when you face a rejection after putting in so much time, effort, money etc. However, the way I have started looking at it - and hopefully this helps - is that maybe...- atrumregina1
