You're applying to the wrong firms. 😅Trainees, partners and associates when you ask about the work/life balance of a firm:
i am in the same boat for debevoise but i'm hoping they have more acs because surely they would have sent out the pfo by now wouldn't they? what do you think i'm actually so idekkkkk
hadn’t even received a vi, spring was my first choice (though it’s not clear to me whether they filter out candidates they like based on what vac scheme they had preference for)Im sorryplease can I ask if this was for a summer vac scheme
PFO post AC for RPC. My first AC and honestly surprised at how demoralised I feel
Been to about 6 open days, all have said "yeah yeah its great" like a gun is behind their back aahah
I had the same feeling after my first AC last month too so you're definitely not alone ❤️ onwards and upwards!
I don't trust these Lex100 insights anymore !

It’s scary to think 10 years ago, I helped design a brochure that had “some ruined Saturdays” and “late for dinner....(again)” on the front cover 😂Trainees, partners and associates when you ask about the work/life balance of a firm:
Sending a big virtual hug to you all today - seems there's been a lot of rejections going into people's emails today! Keep your head up and be proud of yourself for persevering! You'll get there
I am so sorry to hear this
But you made it to the AC which means you had an oustanding app and defo the skills to become a future trainee solicitor. I believe in you
PFO post VI for Bakers as well. :') Does anyone know if you're allowed to apply for their direct TC after a failed VS application? Also, would it be bad to use the same application since it passed the first time around - because I'm honestly not too sure what I can further change about it since my motivation and experiences are the same. Thank you!
Phew, in the past 10 days I've done 2 video interviews, 2 assessment centres and a skype interview, on top of working and Uni deadlines. Safe to say that I am thoroughly exhausted! At least now all I have to do is wait.
I was told by the partner in my Slaughters interview "don't worry if you don't get a place on the VS; it's more competitive than the TC and we have candidates every year who don't get a place on the VS but 'walk into' a TC"
Just finished Eversheds AC will hear back by Monday eek
