[QUOTE="Veep9, post: 45381, member: 7595"] Oh, I identify with this so much! I've been lucky that covid and WFH has made my work more flexible (or, rather, I just work flexi hours when I want to attend events and open days because, while we aren't in the office, my boss doesn't care as long as the work gets done). But I've felt exactly as you describe for the last two years. Not to diss students applying for TC, but I sometimes feel like my life experiences can help me add so much to the firm. But I too struggle with using those experiences to fit into typical questions. Awards and prizes were 10+ years ago; extracurriculars and societies feel like a distant memory. I think I only have it in me to try this year. Otherwise I'm going to need a plan B. Sorry to not be more helpful but, hey, I hope it helps to know you're not alone! [/QUOTE]
