    Whoever was talking about the "Bullshit" jobs theory, it's important to note the author is a career academic and anarchist. Yes, the book is great to read, but it's flawed. If the work of corporate lawyers is worthless, then so is the work of management consultants, IB analysts and other...

    It only gets better from there! reflect on the positives and (if unsuccessful) ask for detailed feedback. But you never know. How you did may just be your perception.

    This is to see whether you are being strategic in your apps. Be really careful because if you are in an interview for a PE-focused firm, for example, and you say you have applied for HSF, you will have to justify what the commonality is between the two. Be prepared for that!

    Absolutely - the key is to reflect on the positives of the experience and focus less on the outcome. Whilst that can be really hard to do, the way you perceive your AC affects how you think about it. I always think about what an opportunity it is to be at the firm. You reached this stage, so you...
