    How long does Gibson Dunn take to get back to you after the second round? Feel like I’ve been waiting ages.

    If a firm pushes your VS interview a week do you think it could mean there not as interested. Trying to calm my nerves lol

    Update. Thank you everyone for your advice! Suddenly everything’s going right... after consistent rejections I’ve scored 4 interviews. Just goes to show it’s a luck game.

    Anyone else just feeling hopeless. I’m a first class law student from a top Russell group university and my entire life I’ve tried so hard to do well and I just keep getting rejections. All my friends seem to know what they are doing next year and I’m stumped. I feel like I’m simply unemployable.
