    Do people find it annoying/boastful when someone posts an offer? I assumed everyone did and after seeing people on Linkedin post theirs I did the same. Now I'm worried haha

    I wrote about the Big Four for a question like this and said it impacted the legal sector in terms of competition. I suppose you could use the scandals as a counter-argument to give a more well-rounded view/argument??

    Sort of following on from this point, I have a partner interview coming up and in the application form I mentioned that I have an interest in M&A.

    Addleshaw Goddard AC invite! Had completely written off this VI because my response to the first question was 'hello' after thinking the record button was a means of testing your microphone. Just goes to show that a questionable VI might not be as tragic as you think hahahaha

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I guess its hard to predict, in terms of volume of applications this may lessen over the coming few years, but then again, there would technically be more applications anyway as the population rises. Perhaps, this competitive cycle has raised the standard of applications in general, meaning...
