[QUOTE="Nishath K, post: 134839, member: 26780"] Another update now that my sisters wedding is now over. Gosh, South Asian weddings are so exhausting! The Linklaters PFO seems so long ago that now I feel grateful I didn't have to go through any language tests. What was heartbreaking was the Bristows PFO. I really liked the firm, and I hoped I would make it further. My DWF VI went horrible. 😭 There was so much to do, I only started preparing the night before I did it. My arguments were very repetitive and lacked structure, but I think the exhaustion made me more relaxed at least. Either way it is a good experience to learn from, but I have a lot of regrets, I know I could have done so much better with more time to prepare. On the paralegal side of things: I onboarded with Flex Legal at the start of January, but it's been silent on that front - so I don't know when to expect anything to come through. For now I will keep slowly applying for other roles, and pray that something appears. Hearing the horror stories from everyone who has completed the Jan SQE has instilled some major fear in me. I've been very complacent with my SQE studies for the past few months, so I will be going back on the grind for that now. To be honest, I'm still trying to work out what I should be investing my time into. Just waiting for a few firms to reply, but I'm pretty sure most of the AC dates have gone for a bunch of them. Briefly reflecting on my first cycle so far, I think I've learnt a lot where I should be looking towards for my next cycle. The fear that comes with starting the process has definitely subsided, I feel more confident for approaching the next cycle. ❤️ [/QUOTE]
