Message: <blockquote data-quote="cgs97" data-source="post: 45364" data-attributes="member: 5369"><p>I completed the GDL this summer, I had one vac scheme this summer which I didn't manage to convert into a TC. I've been working full-time since August in a job that I really don't like, but I'm about to start another non-legal role, one that's a bit more of a career than a job, in January. I did some winter vac scheme applications but had no luck, and I'm struggling to motivate myself to do them for upcoming deadlines. One reason why I've struggled is fitting it in with my full-time job, especially as it mentally and physically drains me (probably made worse by the fact that I can't stand it!), and weekends and evenings off have been my lifeline, especially during covid. I can't help but think of all the time and energy I've put in so far for basically nothing, and how much I'll have to continue to put in for likely the same outcome, not to mention having to take precious days off work early on in my new job if I do get through to ACs etc. I really feel like I've been at a disadvantage as a graduate who works full time, and as I get further away from university, I feel like I'm less and less attractive to firms. Some of the questions seem more geared towards university experiences, yet I don't want to be relying on experiences from 2017/2018 for my applications. I feel like I've mentally checked out of the whole process, which makes me feel like such a failure and like I've wasted a hell of a lot of time and money. Does anyone else feel the same? Has anyone felt like this and managed to bounce back?</p></blockquote><p></p>
