The peak business in the role is the June / July months so I don't want to take my holiday in the busiest period, especially when I am in no real rush with this career path.- ps123

Just when you've packed up for the cycle...Mayer Brown AC lol, absolutely love the firm but just started my new job today & so no chance I would do the VS this summer. Should I do the AC wait to see the result & ask to be considered for a TC? Any advice would be great.- ps123

Couldn't agree more. This was my first cycle and so with nothing else to go on, I'm not ashamed to admit I basically selected firms to apply for on the basis of the 'Most List' on Legal Cheek (NQ Salaries & even more amusingly PEP). As the months have gone on, various open days have really...- ps123

The platform automatically saves your work as you go along, don't think it's a good idea to write up the exercise in word and try to copy and paste it over. I had a wifi glitch which meant I couldn't access the platform to submit my work and so the grand sum of my efforts was 'Dear' and that was...- ps123

I find it absolutely bonkers. I think the open nature of NQ salaries rn really warps opinions towards levels of remuneration. You see 15+ US firms offering crazy money and begin to think it's a norm when in fact the total numbers of NQ solicitors are pretty insignificant when compared with the...- ps123

It's the constant self-doubt that got me, you begin questioning everything you've ever done 😂 It was quite a useful experience, if for nothing else, to put you off ever considering embellishing you're experiences and credentials! I was stressed enough about the checks on things I legitimately...- ps123

unrelated question, are background checks required for these vac schemes? Just completed mine for an FS job and my god they take a lot of time and effort. Seemingly had to reference everyone I'd ever done any work for!- ps123

admittedly I'm someone who doesn't, & never has, care about timing (had a gap year = 1 year 'behind', studied History = another year 'behind', started a career in another sector = why not add another year 'behind'. This process clearly is brutal and competitive; think how satisfying it will be...- ps123
