[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 192020, member: 36777"] Hey [USER=38548]@taahaakhan279[/USER] while I have not had the same trajectory as you, I definitely empathize with feeling so overwhelmed by the application process. Getting to understand the recruitment environment and the world of City law firms is definitely challenging and can take a lot longer than people anticipate. Try not to feel disheartened if you have to face initial rejections, even the most successful candidates are rejected a lot more often than not. In my first cycle, I was rejected in every single application at first stage, but I kept at it and in my second cycle I received 3 TC offers from elite US firms. As for more concrete advice for your situation, I would firstly definitely seek to leverage your actual biglaw work experience in your answers, as that will distinguish you from most applicants. Secondly, I would try to target firms that work on many matters with a connection to India, as your knowledge of the Indian legal system is more likely to come in handy there. [/QUOTE]
