Some young people jump on the bandwagon of complaint because they want an easy life. To them, I have little sympathy. They make it difficult for everyone else to form a coherent argument. The bandwagon itself is very much real, though. Under-trained and over-worked in a broken economy prioritising the wrong metrics.EXCLUSIVE Gen Z lawyers require ‘more handholding’, says firm

Guys, what are your thoughts on this? (Not trying to stir things up here, I genuinely want to hear thoughts from everyone with a current or future stake in these firms so please keep it friendly hehe)
This question may have been asked before, but how best do you go about structuring an answer to the question “introduce yourself/tell us about yourself” in an interview?
Did you get an email discussing the training contract aswell?Shoosmiths PFO (at last!) - London office
When did they let you know, was this today?OK, writing this because I need some advice. I received PW interview which I'm doing on Monday. I've had so much other work and I've barely prepared for it. If I got it, it would already clash with another VS that I have. I feel like pulling out of the process. I know that sounds really silly but it's just so much work and I wonder whether it's worth it. Could someone advise me on what to do?
Also, one of my top choices is CRS and I haven't heard back from them at all, so if I get a PFO I will kick myself for not having done the PW interview, but at the same time I now only have two days to prepare.
Sorry to hear this! Can I ask in your email did it say something along the lines of “hope you take confidence in knowing your application was strong”?Shoosmiths PFO (at last!) - London office
