Sorry to hear that did you apply quite early to them?

 

[RaniaH062002]

Anyone else heard anything from Baker McKenzie?

Not heard anything yet and am now half anticipating a double whammy from HL and BM lol

80-85% of TCs go to VSers. They have 50 Training Contracts overall...

I think thats the case for most, besides the MCs. With mid-sized intakes they do tend to recruit from the 2-3 vac schemes they do and allocate the rest to DTC.

brabners test invite! happy about this one as i got rejected post app for them last year

Have you heard back from them post test yet?

I wonder if HL will let everyone know today or they're sending outcomes in batches. I keep refreshing my email! 😅

Same, was really sure of my application and have experience too so shit to not even make it to the test :/ did apply on the deadline so maybe it was that but I thought it wasn’t meant to matter with them…

When did you apply if you don’t mind me asking?

The mental toll of applying for TC's, especially as a graduate student in their mid 20's is not spoken enough for my liking.

I consider myself thick-skinned, but as Katy Perry once said I feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind.

Applying for jobs in the legal sector is the most violently humbling experience I have ever had, and this is my 3rd cycle 🥹
