Generative AI, Yes! I agree! I used Comet Browser once and automated the process of manually entering the module grades and work experiences in allhires. That did save me a huge chunk of time! And it was accurate (with all the entries!) Task automation by augmenting the AI seems to be...- Lawlawland

I'm so stressed and worried about this WGT. I can't even enjoy the joy of getting past the first round of screening for the first time, as I barely have 2 days to complete the test. And all of th efforts for a successful application means nothing if I can't get past this test. I hope I can...- Lawlawland

Thanks for the input! Are there any platforms that you would recommend to practice them? I have to complete the test by tomorrow for the current firm so it's highly unlikely to be of any use, but I would like to be prepared for the next ones. Thanks for the pfp/user appreciation. I just changed...- Lawlawland

The subreddit good place if you feel miserable and want assistance. It gives a clear picture into the real "culture" beyond what's told in the public forums. But if you're enthusiastic/optimistic or clueless, the place seems brutal and unmotivating.- Lawlawland

Adding on to other valuable inputs given here, cognitive rephrasing and self compassion really helps me at such tough times. You've come a long way and you deserve credits for it. And, rejections never mean you're under qualified! I believe compartmentalising things usually helps me here. I see...- Lawlawland

(Regarding WGT) Is having 70 percentile in Assessment day practice test, 68 in allaboutlaw, 70 in jobprep test and 68% in Clifford chance test decent enough practice for a timed WGT test?- Lawlawland

I did the same, as I positioned it with my past career and how the fresh start of it makes it more appealing to me (along with other things that's impressive about the firm). We're on the same boat, and fingers crossed!- Lawlawland
