My law apps were to BCLP (god save me), Travers, Fieldfisher, Clarion, Withers, Mishcon, & Farrers (Can you tell I like private client work lol) - despite how bad a rep BCLP has I've had a ton of great experiences with the firm and love working in CRE so sad I didn't get that 😭Ah where else did you apply? Funnily enough Mishcon was going to be my main firm for application season but the competition is too much so I backed out. Glad I did after I found out a Trainee is the child of one of the staff high up in the firm.
I applied for:
Bates Wells
MR
BDB
Linklaters - rejection
Need to finish off Womble Bond
Anthony Collins
Stephenson Harwood - Aspiring Solicitors
TLT
Irwin Mitchell
I really want Bates Wells cause of the Immigration and Charities seats but I majorly fucked up the App. I’m aiming for Mills and Reeve atm because it’s training is solid and I like the specialisation in Education.
My non-law apps were to PwC Audit, Savills & Knight Frank - I have ACs for all of these but dropped PwC on assessment centre day because their wage is less than I make now in a call centre which is CRIMINAL 😭😭😭
