Hiya!
I'm sorry you are feeling burnt out. I had a very similar experience but in person when I had 3 interviews back to back also. You can imagine, the additional stress of waking up super early to catch the train into the city then coming back home to relax then prepare three times over was...
Hiya!
I can't say for certain but it sounds to me to just be an admin issue so it should hopefully be something that can be sorted out upon correction.
Hiya!
I'm not the most experienced on this topic but I definitely do not think this would be a disadvantage nor would it reduce the quality of your training contract applications. Transferable skills are such that can be gained from any experience and can help bring something unique to your...
Hiya!
Not silly at all! Jacob made a really great article on this which will sum it all up ☺️

Hiya!
I always think it’s best to choose seats that you are genuinely interested in (e.g. because of the industry focus, type of clients, activity type etc, previous use of transferable skills or just plain curiosity I would never advise choosing a seat simply because it’s the main one or you...
Hiya!

Hiya!
I found completing virtual internships beforehand really helpful. There are quite a few on Inside Sherpa (https://www.theforage.com/virtual-internships). I also completed the Bright Networks Virtual Internship prior however I'm not sure if this is an on-going thing.
But I definitely...

In our first article today, we hear from a future trainee at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP

Hiya!
I think it's always good to be commercially aware and prep not only recent deals but also wider news generally. In an interview scenario, this is more important as you're more likely to have a direct question as opposed to a skill based assessment like a case study or negotiation...
Hiya!
Personally, I never really tried to link my deals of interest to my commercial awareness. I usually prepped for 2 key firm deals then 3 areas of commercial awareness. I never really found that I had to link them as they would usually come under two different questions e.g. why X firm? ( I...
Hiya!
I agree with Victoria. I think they are quite similar but the former is slightly more subjective than the latter. So I would approach these questions as; why X firm- means why are you interested in the firm but what are the firm's USPs- means objectively speaking what are the firm's main...
