International Students & Vacation Schemes
There is also the very slimmest chance a law firm could apply through the GAE scheme to bring you over. Unlikely, but I've not had enough experience of it to say for sure. Jess might know better as to whether this is an option...- whisperingrock

Hogan Lovells question
You are using up a lot of your word count pretty needlessly here. You can make every sentence more concise and doing that will give you more space to add more actions and make the result of your actions in the question clearer.- whisperingrock

Help - considering reneging on my TC
The LPC is a miserable experience and I have yet to meet a single person who enjoys it, including every associate I've spoken to at my firm. Make of that what you will.- whisperingrock

Tell the firm that is making you wait a few weeks that you got another offer. It'll make them hurry up :D- whisperingrock

SQE without the PGDL?
Considering the current GDL + Accelerated LPC set-up would only take ~15 months total, I'm guessing the latter firm is convinced that you'll cover enough of what would be on the GDL as part of the SQE prep course and 'GDL month' (so ~13 months total?) that you wouldn't need to do the GDL course...- whisperingrock

BPP LPC help. 3Days?
BPP is so flakey with this stuff that even if you get a firm commitment, they might go back on it at any point. They have sneaky tiny asterisks on every webpage and pdf that say that any schedules are subject to change whenever they want. They pulled the rug out like this on several of my...- whisperingrock

As someone who did the LPC LLM, don't bother if you don't need funding. Complete waste of time.- whisperingrock

No, this is the opposite of bad. Firms know you're applying to other firms and you have good motivations for why you attended so many at some many different types of firms.- whisperingrock

It's just a bunch of people who don't realise just how much work getting that paycheck actually involves. I have friends at the likes of Milbank, and when even paralegals are working weekends, you know the work-life balance is nonexistent. Some people think the trade-off is worth the money, but...- whisperingrock

How common is it to move from a non-MC/SC City firm to a US firm
It's not uncommon by any means, and It's going to depend on what area you choose to qualify into, the quality of the work you did, and how the market is standing at the time. Where you trained may matter but not as much unless the differences are stark in terms of clients and the type of work...- whisperingrock

If it makes you feel any better, the risk profile for AZ is supposedly still significantly lower than most birth control pills which people take without a second thought. Not great that they gave you a riskier vaccine though :/- whisperingrock

Converting your vacation scheme into a training contract - top tips in 2021
If your supervisor is on the ball they'll set something up for you. I don't actually think it's necessary to send out a mass introduction email, and its going to be hard to pin down everyone in the department anyway. You're probably better off sticking to making a very good impression on those...- whisperingrock
