I don’t feel lucky anymore. I’m fairly blunt but use my experiences to help this. No condescension is meant. Which posts are you referring to? I’m just bored of waiting for a TC. I believe I should have got it by now.I have been an observer on the forum for a while now but have decided to make an account. I have seen your posts and replies and have enjoyed your frequent updates on your applications however, many of your replies are condescending to others. You may not notice it yourself but they come off as rude and I am quite often confused the no one has called you out on it.
From what I’ve gathered you’re an Oxbridge grad with 4 vac schemes, you’re in an incredible position right now compared to many others. You venting is soo valid having not converted them but you also have to realise your attitude plays a factor in this. Your experience is not pointless by any means you need to alter your mindset when you get to these schemes and not expect to be given the TC based on your background?
Hopefully this is taken as encouragement to keep going and not me attacking you x
Do you think it may have something to do with your attitude?Anyone else delete negative outcomes ASAP? I barely scan before deleting them. This sounds very conceited, but I'm very angry. I have done four Vacation Schemes (Slaughter and May, Debevoise & Plimpton, Travers Smith and Ropes & Gray). What was the point? Firms don't seem to value these at all. I also try to emphasis transferable skills from other roles. Again, what is the point? It just feels like every cycle is the same - and this is why I gave up for two years. I'm tempted to do it again.
I think it’s more being neurodiverse. Possibly a focus on US firms. I don’t know honestly.Do you think it may have something to do with your attitude?
How you feel is irrelevant realistically, on paper you are lucky. You not feeling that at this stage is very understandable but the cookie doesn’t crumble like that unfortunately.I don’t feel lucky anymore. I’m fairly blunt but use my experiences to help this.

Just reviewing an application before submitting. I said vaccination scheme instead of vacation scheme twice without realising! Time for a break I think…
Applied last week Monday, so 7/10. Very swift reply.Sorry to hear that when did you apply?
I’ve got one too. I wonder if it’s to do with location? I’m in the midlands so I imagine they want to make it easier for ppl close to the office (London) then again, it quicker for me to come in than someone else who lives in SE/SW London. But I digress.Mischon Open Day- but transferred to online. Application not strong enough?
Just wondering (I’m not intending to criticise your behaviour and personality) but have you considered UK firms more? I’m just interested in understanding your strong focus on US firms!I think it’s more being neurodiverse. Possibly a focus on US firms. I don’t know honestly.
I’ve still not heard back, chased them earlier and they said outcomes are being sent today - bit late in the day though!Anyone hear back from Mishcon for their Open Days?
Congrats! A great firm to get positive news from.BCLP first stage interview invite!!
I am SO SO over the moon after having a really tough last week. I'm weirdly looking forward to it?? I'm going to try and blow their socks off, haha!

Bro I’m gonna be honest, how do u get four vac schemes and not convert one. MC firms convert virtually everyone from their scheme too I thought?
