Documenting my TC Journey (Escaping the trenches)
On another note, the job market in general is so bad at the moment it is genuinely hard to keep your head up. I am trying to secure a job in any capacity within law firms but its practically just as hard to secure an admin role it seems.

Documenting my TC Journey (Escaping the trenches)
Update: PFO from Wedlake Bell, I think PFO from Haynes Boone. Currently waiting on BCLP to get back to me post STJ, Reed Smith, Perkins Coie and Watson Farley & Williams. I will hopefully send my app off to Paul Hastings today and Edwin Coe who I decided to apply to fairly last minute.- Gottagetthroughthis101

Hoping that this will help with apps!!- Gottagetthroughthis101

Documenting my TC Journey (Escaping the trenches)
Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it and it is really reassuring to hear that my experience (or lack thereof) shouldn't be a barrier to me getting a TC. I think it might be that I need to focus more on preparing for the latter stages of the application process more. It's almost...- Gottagetthroughthis101

Documenting my TC Journey (Escaping the trenches)
UPDATE 22/11/2025 - So last application round did not go well for me. Honestly, I know everyone says this but being nearly 24 and not having secured anything is hard. I feel so behind my peers and very succesful friends who are earning high salaries and progressing in their careers. I know...- Gottagetthroughthis101
