Spontaneous TC Journey

Thank you! It was okay; they take a long time to progress

Ahhh yess - the waiting game is sooo daunting! What stage did you get up to & did you give 10KBI another shot this year?

Update ✨ :

Yesterday, I submitted my application to one of, if not my top preference, firm! I have been holding back doing the application since it opened in September, as I wanted the insight evening. I luckily got the invite and enjoyed it! I struggled to write this application, as I had so much information I didn't know what areas I wanted to focus on. My application from the last cycle was successful in making it to the next stage; I had a brief look at that and locked in and submitted last night! I never get my applications reviewed before submitting, so a big thank you to @yasmars for also looking at it. I appreciate it greatly! 🥹

In the past month, I have submitted 3 applications, not many as I have been super busy. I have focused on the firms I have had interactions with and ensuring these are well researched. I did a VI for a firm last weekend, which was positive; fingers crossed I get an AC invite.

I have been invited to an AC for another graduate job, which I am super proud of given the application process is notorisly known for favouring STEM students, and the salary exceeds many firm trainee salaries! I hope to progress to the final stage interview, but I'm not hopeful given the math test I have to retake on the day for validity. I struggled on the first one😭.

I am struggling with my work load and balancing life. I'm hoping in the new year I can get back on track.

Many of the firms I have applied to have rolling deadlines; the deadlines are closed/approaching. With that said, I do hope to hear back soon with more news.

I hope everyone has had a great week with an inbox filled with positive news x​

Unexpected update✨

Bad news first🫠
I got a rejection from a firm I went to an open day with!! I was soo gutted my heart hurt as I saw the emails. I tried soo hard on that application I went above and beyond to stand out as I did their virtual internship which I never do. I wonder if it was a numbers decision and there wasn’t enough space?

I also got rejected today for another firm, I am convinced that I will never progress with that firm having applied to 2 Vs and 2 open days they don't like me 😪

I also failed the AC for the grad job but I only failed the maths test 😭😭😭 everything else was perfect they called me a team player and easy to build a rapport with. I knew i wasn’t going to progress to final interview I struggled with the first maths test let alone the second. They gave me feedback in less than 24hours what a massive slay! Law could never 🥴

Good news 😃
I have received a test invite from one of the top firms on my list!! I applied months ago so I was surprise to get this news😁 I’m scared to take the test as I know not a lot of people get it so I really don’t want to mess it up.

I also got a VI invite from my top firm!!!!! Beyond happy. This has made my December to say the least! 🤩 now to start prepping as I will honestly burn my laptop if I fail this VI🧍‍♀️ I’m super happy to have progressed with many firms/companies so early in the cycle. I’d love to have more law related news from now on.

This weekend I plan to do the test and prep for the VI for next week. Given how close it is the Christmas I think I’ll only hear back from 1 firm as per their application process timeline. In the new year I have an AC to prep for hehe​

I assume Clifford chance for the rejection. I am in the same boat. What is this top firm. I’m interested.
