[QUOTE="simplyfaith, post: 204657, member: 21122"] Some younger people straight from school can be surprised when meeting someone of a different age alongside them for the first time. Most know it's to be expected at this stage and might just be making conversation, but a few might not know how to react and end up being awkward about it. I've never met anyone who was malicious about it, though! I'm sorry you had an unpleasant time. By a strange turn of events, I started undergrad several years 'late' and am still in the application trenches, so get what you're talking about. I can still hear it now... "oh my god, you're 90s kid"... yes, Sienna 💀 Try to not let it get to you. You already know trainee ages vary, particularly at firms with lean teams or industry expertise. If anything, I think it gets easier, in the sense that you're a distinctly wiser person alongside other applicants and when speaking with senior lawyers. That's worth a lot. Gotta get that fully developed prefrontal cortex, right [/QUOTE]
