They're a really nice firm and the vacation scheme is a great learning experience - the workshops were invaluable in developing my legal knowledge as a non-law student. I would caution that if a TC is your ultimate goal they only offer 1 TC from the 10 or so vac schemers.- JSM123

Yes this used to happen to me all the time - everyone's different but what I started doing was learning facts about firms in isolation (e.g. X firm represents 80% of the world's largest asset managers) and testing myself on them (before I would learn it as part of a prepared answer i.e. why x...- JSM123

Apologies if it came off presumptive - I don't assume you haven't come from a low-income background or that you haven't worked very hard / in a competitive way to get your role. But I don't think your experience can be perfectly analogous to the situations some applications find themselves in...- JSM123
