[QUOTE="bangarangbass39, post: 188544, member: 30928"] It’s not fixed. I met multiple vac schemers during my internship who applied to 70+ firms. I’m not exaggerating. They only managed to get to 2 ACs. Bear in mind if you follow that approach, you’ll be applying for firms across the spectrum. From MC all the way to high street. I see around online that 10 is the best. All my mentors have said the same. Many said you’re desperate if you’re applying for more than 30 and you shouldn’t be. I strongly think you shouldn’t be desperate - you should be able to do something outside of law. It shouldn’t be your only career choice for the time being, no matter how passionate you are. I think it’s best to apply for 10 - 15, focusing on a solid 10 you’re happy with and an extra 5 you use as back up if the cycle is not in your favour. After that I apply for different types of roles, some linked to law, because I can’t be waiting for a handful of positions forever. It will come when it does. Applying for more, imo doesn’t help your wellbeing in the long term or massively improve your skillset as an applicant. [/QUOTE]
