    For sure and that's a fab attitude ❤️ For now, you can't do anything until you hear from the remaining firms, so try not to spend all your time refreshing your emails and do something that makes you feel good instead! :D

    This broke my heart because I know how awful it makes you feel, especially when you prepare so much and want it so badly. For the firm in the story I posted above, I spent weeks preparing - I had built up a guide of over 100 pages of preparation - and didn't think the interview had gone badly at...

    I applied for a TC with a firm a few years ago and in my AC feedback, the partner said I talked too much about my dissertation on a particular subject (in reality, I had brought up my dissertation once and it was about a completely different subject) and about my experience in the 'cycling...

    Honoured thank you ❤️ Yes, agreed with that! I think it falls as part of the wider shift over the last year of financial institutions taking cryptocurrencies more seriously than ever.

    I must say, it's so refreshing to come on here and see this logical and sensible discussion about GameStop. I've been watching the r/wallstreetbets (wsb) thread very closely as there's no education quite like experience so I invested in a very small amount of AMC for a giggle to keep up with it...

That's just my opinion though :) When we've recruited in my non-law company, some of the best interns have...
