    Career options to re apply to law firms

    Thank you @Jacob Miller and @Jessica Booker ! so from what I understand this is not a make or break decision when it comes to TC/VS applications next year... To be honest the second position seems a bit like I could develop myself more and be more proactive. It is less connected to law but I...
