[QUOTE="Zammy96, post: 24376, member: 5144"] Hi all By way of background, strong overall academics (3 A*, RG LLB, and a LPC pass (meh)). Currently 23. First round of apps in 2017. Completed a VS at one US firm in 2018, performed well, but not well enough to meet the trainee quota of 2. Second round in 2018. Secured a VS at one top city firm and a mid tier national firm. At the same time, leveraging on my stock trading hobby during university, I secured a role at a IPO/Corporate finance house in the City, paying near NQ salary at an average city law firm. Given the nature of the job and the pay, I thought I am done with chasing my dream City TC. Therefore, I rejected my two VS that I was due to complete in 2019. A year later, I have come to realise that I will never be truely satisfied until I qualify as a lawyer! So, here I am, drafting my applications again. Lets see if I can bag a direct TC sooner or later. I’ve worked on the IPO of one law firm and funnily enough I’ll now probably apply to them. Best of luck all. [/QUOTE]
