[QUOTE="yasmars, post: 245521, member: 9431"] Hi everyone! ✨ It’s been a hot minute since I have updated this thread. As you can probably tell, I was unsuccessful after my AC with Akin, as well as post WE with Willkie and post partner review with Bristows last cycle. I was so defeated that I gave up completely. All of the direct applications that I did last cycle also failed at the first stage, bar one Job sim invite from Mayer Brown. Idek why I applied for them because I found it so difficult to articulate why the firm. I think that was a sign tbh. I think I applied to around 27 firms last cycle with 1 AC and 5 next stage progressions which wasn’t very good. Anyways, I built up the courage to apply again this cycle. I have had less successes, albeit fewer applications too. I’ve applied to 14 firms this time round, ones that I’m genuinely interested in. [B][I]Here is my current progression:[/I][/B] Bristows - partner review stage Osborne Clarke - virtual AC Lewis Silkin - waiting post app Gibson Dunn - waiting post app Simmons & Simmons - waiting post app [B]Rejections[/B] Mishcon - post SJT Freshfields - post second stage Willkie - post app (I was one of the few that was placed on hold until Feb 😭. I think if I had applied when Gemma was around I would’ve at least reached VI stage). Goodwin - post app HSF - post test Bird & Bird - post app Taylor Wessing - post test CMS - post app BOE - post test I am really praying for one yes. I don’t know if I have the strength for another cycle. I’ll try to keep this thread updated. [/QUOTE]
