thank you! and LondonWell done!! Can I ask what office?
I wouldn’t include it in work experience but reference it elsewhere in an application. For instance, you could make a brief statement in a motivational question that you are looking forward to the scheme.Would it be acceptable and beneficial to include a vacation scheme offer that I have accepted (but not yet started) in other VS applications' work experience sections? I'm thinking one line saying that I have been offered the place and will soon start
This was a very interesting read. Thank you for sharing. "I’ve seen [partners] throw things at trainees." I am genuinely nervous for anyone with a snowflake mentality entering this profession. I don't think anything justifies partners treating their juniors this way, but the harsh reality is that this profession is stressful because of the high stakes involved for firms and their clients. I am developing a thick skin now so that I can take constructive, critical or even less-than-polite criticism without internalising victimhood. Otherwise, I will most certainly flunk out of the profession.I came across this really interesting read that was done by 'The Times' and it was this article about young junior lawyers:https://www.thetimes.com/uk/law/article/26-year-old-lawyer-140k-2v3djs9bc
(for all my peeps who don't have a subscription to it: https://archive.ph/VlbL7 (I gotchu))
obviously it didn't say anything I didnt expect, but its sometimes shocking to read the reality for some people!
I know! I was reading it in actual shock because obviously it would be naive to think this career is not high pressured, but the way some of these lawyers were describing how they were being treated was making me feel nauseous 😭This was a very interesting read.

someone on the forum who did the a/c on 11 Nov received an offer last week, i did mine way earlier so i don't think they're considering me for any other schemes as winter clearly hadn't filled up yet. i guess just time to move on as annoying as it islowkey feel the same way- if they are considering us for spring idk why they haven't told us
