2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Nope there are many reasons why they may not have got back to you, the partners may have not had a chance to discuss your performance because they've been incredibly busy working for one so try and keep positive! No news is good news :)- Daniel Boden

Doesn't look unprofessional at all and if they will allow you to be heard better and will help reduce the background noise in your house then absolutely wear them- Daniel Boden

Gap year before TC - Paralegal/LLM
Just to add a third option - if you can, travel! This will be the last time you have such a big amount of time off for a while so I would go and see the world and explore it as much as you can! That's the advice every lawyer I have spoken to has given me anyway... even if you worked as a...- Daniel Boden

Don't rule it out just yet! It took me 6 weeks after doing a VI with Weil before I got given the AC when others were doing ACs before me so try and stay positive if you can. No news is definitely still good news :)- Daniel Boden

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
I'd highly highly recommend you apply for a VS as like most US firms that have a smaller intake, they won't even look at direct TC apps unless they haven't filled up their trainee intake from the VS- Daniel Boden

In that case it would have been the generic feedback as I and @Ricky described so don't take it to heart! They're clearly missing out on a good candidate :)- Daniel Boden

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
I'm not sure if this is the case and you may have had a different experience but when I got rejected from BCLP a couple of years ago, they sent me the same feedback which I then realised was the same feedback that they sent to everyone - was like a generic note. No idea if that's the case for...- Daniel Boden

I did a thread/post on the Macfarlanes AC a year or two ago which hopefully you'll be able to find? No idea if the AC has changed since then but it may be helpful to you guys :)- Daniel Boden

I am an Associate at a Global Law Firm. Ask me Anything!
Thanks a lot @LM! Just as a follow-up to your response to my first question, was it easy to get your firm to sign off on your period of further study and I assume you'll be returning to your firm upon completion of your study programme? Is it common for a firm to sponsor an associate in further...- Daniel Boden

Hi @LM thanks so much for agreeing to do this thread - I know I can speak for everyone when I say reading your thoughtful responses has been really insightful!

Yes in my experience 99% of firms reply with a rejection at some point. The only firm that doesn't I think is Milbank but they do say that they will only be in contact to invite you to an AC- Daniel Boden

Management Consultancy v Law
Yeah just to add to what @Jacob Miller has said above, I'd be very surprised if you were to be asked this unless you had prior consultancy experience. A fairly common question is why law and not investment banking where the differences are a bit more obvious. To be honest I think if I was asked...- Daniel Boden

Car Crash Interview anecdotes
That's what I thought and that's what friends and lawyers I know said that they didn't think it was a big deal because I wasn't referring to anyone specifically but still, I wouldn't necessarily lead with it in an interview context haha as it just adds another potential reason to say no to you- Daniel Boden
