    From Campus to Cubicle: Miss Piggy's Journey 🐽

    I *really* want to post this on the vacation scheme thread because I am genuinely so curious as to what other people think 🤣😭 but don't want to be that annoying user who derails threads. But there's this ex-MC lawyer on LinkedIn who posts about spending his days surfing and living a nomadic...

    I forgot about this 😭 I won't lie, A LOT has happened in the last couple of weeks but I have done a good job of keeping this space as academic and career-related as possible 👀 So I got rejected from Bristows after the first interview and I was telling my friends that during the interview, I...

    Yesss granted I haven't interacted with many many firms, but SH has been the only firm with really poor communication. Not a good look imo.

    Yessss I reckon the additional experience must have helped you be more yourself or come across as more confident in your interview! I applied for one grad job (non-law) and that went badly at the last stage so at this point I will have to think of something *After* exams and also my worst case...

    From Campus to Cubicle: Miss Piggy's Journey 🐽

    OK, so I have just had a look and there are still some firms I am interested in that I could apply to after exams are over (through direct route and their applications are open). Maybe this cycle doesn't have to end here (even if I get rejected from Mishcon). Ugh. Anyway, going back to...

    I will try to be positive about life tomorrow, I am sure there's advantages to not knowing what you are doing with your life. Just generally feel a little scared and uncertain. It's a lot leaving the education system. Funnily enough before I came back to uni for my final year I could not wait to...

    Had a bit of a cry after the Bristows interview (not because of the interview itself). Just exhausted, really. I haven't heard back from Mishcon and I really need the vac scheme but I have NO idea if I will get lucky or not. I am not too keen on Bristows really because I have realised I deffo...

    I can't stop overthinking the fact that I should have been more confident and really sell my experiences in the interview. I guess at least I will be sure to do that for the next one but still :/
