    How do trainee solicitors strike the balance between taking initiatives and seeking supervision/support in real life? Got really confused doing SJTs. I felt like in uni I would always choose the options that prioritise personal initiatives but now I'm working I feel the opposite is more realistic??

    My Journey to TC

    Not much happened in the past week, I applied to Withers over the weekend and that's pretty much it. Somehow got allergic to a new shower gel I bought so was really struggling to work and do applications. Also the posts on OC ACs in the VS thread were really disheartening as I LOVE that firm. I...
