[QUOTE="SophdoesLaw, post: 118770, member: 23984"] Hi everyone! I really need some advice… I’m a career changer who has done the GDL. I (now I think naively) applied to two firms in this cycle, being certain of the firms I thought I wanted. My application for one of the firms was successful, for which I am really grateful, considering how hard and stressful it is to get a TC. However, I didn’t have a great Vac Scheme in the office and felt like I didn’t quite fit in. Furthermore, they don’t offer the two sectors I would really like to explore (a fact I was willing to be flexible on when I was convinced of the firm). It’s a well known firm, and I know I’d get great training but I don’t know if it’s for me. I’m worried i’d be making a big mistake by turning this down. Maybe I didn’t engage in the application cycle enough to appreciate how lucky I am to have faced just one rejection. Maybe I won’t get another training contract offer next year or the year after. I don’t think I can accept and apply for other firms (they clearly prohibit this in the contract) and I have a few more weeks to decide. Any advice is welcome and would really be appreciated!
