[QUOTE="Aspiring_CommercialLawyer2026, post: 228534, member: 43442"] Hi! I am sorry to hear about Reed Smith - you’re absolutely right that the process can feel disheartening, especially when you’re putting in so much effort in and feedback you receive is contrary to how you felt an assessment went (I had my share of pessimism after getting rejected by firms after tests that I had poured so much effort into preparing for and feeling I had done well in). However, it is great to see you reflecting and moving on with the process with fresh energy. The training contract process is a marathon not a sprint. It is absolutely crucial to take little moments where you need it to find that renewed motivation so you can give subsequent applications and tests your best. Good luck with the Stephenson Harwood and Hill Dickinson applications - I am rooting for you! :) [/QUOTE]
