    I’ve been pretty inactive on here lately due to work and upcoming vacation schemes, but I’ve just heard the news that I’ve been successful after my last vacation scheme of the cycle! I just wanted to thank everyone for their help and support over the years! It certainly wasn’t my first vacation...

    Just heard from Shoosmiths (Manchester) with a rejection. This marks the end of this cycle for me, but can’t complain with two VS offers. Good luck to everyone else!! 🤞
