that’s my cycle over everyone :( so gutted, i made it past the app stages for Baker McKenzie and Reed Smith but the online tests did not go well for me. As for the other places, I really worked on my apps but it wasn’t enough. My imposter syndrome put me off applying to US firms because I went...- lawyersum

Has anyone had experience with Vinson & Elkin's Winter Vacation Scheme? It says on their website that applications are open for about three months, but the scheme will only go ahead if they do not fill up all their TC places after the Summer Vac Scheme? From personal experience does the Winter...- lawyersum

Block it out of your mind and go and ace your Skadden interview! It is W&C's loss for rejecting you and arguably Skadden is more prestigious. You got this!!!- lawyersum

Totally in the same shoes right now. I can’t even sleep at night thinking about what to do with my life as a recent graduate. I’ve experienced every type of law from legal aid to commercial, and I genuinely want to be in this career for the long term. It’s a really scary, demoralising time and...- lawyersum

Love this advice and thanks for sharing. But I can’t help but feel my heart sink on the point about the LPC/SQE. I have completed a law degree but simply cannot afford to self fund the SQE.

TC or not TC... that is the question
that sounds great! No doubt your hospitality & bar work will definitely help show off your transferable skills.
