    Are TC application rejections always communicated? Is no news good news or bad news??

    Hey All, I've applied for a couple of 2024 TCs and for some I haven't yet heard back for a while. Should I be worried? Is no news good news? Do firms usually communicate rejections or no? Thanks for your help guys!

    Self-Esteem

    Does anyone else have any experience of not feeling "good enough" for law firms? Like I know that law is hard and I knew what I was getting myself in, but between rejections and seeing people on LinkedIn who have achieved so much more than you, how does one cope with the lowered self-esteem...
