    Asking for a TC in a different office to VS...

    I wouldn’t raise it at all, especially at the VS stage. However, if you land a TC find out if you can apply for an NQ role in London? This will depend on the firm your at, some firm allow this, some will not. Also, If you know the area of law you wish to qualify into, say Commercial...

    Tired of rejection

    I don’t think law firm Open Days pay much attention to first year grades, especially since you have already have a 2.1. If most likely to do with your application answers or the timing of your applications. Some open days are awarded on a first-come basis, so don’t always wait for the deadline...

    % of trainees and associates that went to private school...

    I say don’t worry about all the private school bias. Your just as good as them (assuming you have the grades). This should motivate you to challenge the status quo and get a training contract. If your determined enough and you work hard the world is your oyster. Focus on yourself and your...
