    Documenting my TC Journey (Escaping the trenches)

    On another note, the job market in general is so bad at the moment it is genuinely hard to keep your head up. I am trying to secure a job in any capacity within law firms but its practically just as hard to secure an admin role it seems. I can't say that outside of law firms it is any easier.

    Documenting my TC Journey (Escaping the trenches)

    Update: PFO from Wedlake Bell, I think PFO from Haynes Boone. Currently waiting on BCLP to get back to me post STJ, Reed Smith, Perkins Coie and Watson Farley & Williams. I will hopefully send my app off to Paul Hastings today and Edwin Coe who I decided to apply to fairly last minute.

    Documenting my TC Journey (Escaping the trenches)

    Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it and it is really reassuring to hear that my experience (or lack thereof) shouldn't be a barrier to me getting a TC. I think it might be that I need to focus more on preparing for the latter stages of the application process more. It's almost...

    Documenting my TC Journey (Escaping the trenches)

    I thought I would join everyone else in documenting my training contract journey. I guess this is more of a place for me to rant and keep myself accountable especially since the last few years of law school and trying to get into a legal career has been painful. I can't say that I feel like a...
