[QUOTE="hannah04, post: 146434, member: 27085"] I just have to say - please stop comparing yourself to your classmates on LinkedIn!!!! I am currently waiting to hear back from my final scheme and I have been seeing a flood of my classmates posting about their successful TC conversions. While this instinctively dampers on my confidence, I try to remind this whole process is about finding the right firm for you, not about timing. Plus, of course we see the successful TC conversion posts on Linkedin - that's what the website is for- but we don't see those who aren't successful (which is probably more people than the successful ones) so it can be easy to think we are the only one - but we aren't (thats why this community is so great - we see the PFOs as well as the successes!) . The fact you didn't convert the schemes has way less to do with you and way more to do with the firm. Definitely don't give up and I would encourage you to self-fund the SQE - its quite common and what I will be most likely doing if my VS's don't pan out! If you notice you don't quite fit the culture of the firms you've worked at so far, try broadening your horizons! Firms can vary so widely in terms of culture and I really do think the right firm is out there for everyone [/QUOTE]
