I haven't actually posted it here yet - a couple of weeks ago I was offered a TC
It took me 3 application rounds to get here. In previous rounds, I made the mistake of 'catching feelings' for one firm and then only really applying to them. Although this meant I usually got to AC, I had some development yet to do before I could stand out and be picked from the pool of seriously impressive candidates.
This round, I applied to 6 firms. I was offered 2 VSs and 1 direct TC. I withdrew from the last stage of a fourth firm and was rejected by the other 2, one post-app and one post-AC.
All of the firms I applied to have Tier 1 private client and/or family practices as this is what I feel most excited about (still keeping an open mind) but my TC offer is so tempting that I feel satisfied pulling out of one VS and asking not to be considered for a TC with the other.
I know this is 'the Corporate Law Academy' but, despite my infiltration as a private client applicant, I have learned soo much from everyone and found the forum so comforting during the process 🌟
