[QUOTE="SamiyaJ, post: 211040, member: 34872"] Hi guys, I hope you’re all well! I’m not posting much nowadays as life is hectic (same as everyone else tbh) and my mental health has taken a bit of a toll. In terms of applications, I am waiting to hear back from [URL='https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/mayer-brown.61']Mayer Brown[/URL] (pretty sure it’s a PFO as my SJT results weren’t great), Farrer & Co and [URL='https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/hfw.65']HFW[/URL] TC post apps. Need to do some more applications but I have PGDL exams coming up so I’m busy with revision. In terms of work- I have a good job with decent salary, but we were recently hit with the bombshell that a lot of redundancies are coming as the organisation has to cut millions from the budget by 1 Jan 2026!!! So now that’s another worry. Probably will sound like such an entitled brat saying this but I’ve had a look for any legal positions available and they either require 50 years of legal experience, or the money is terrible. I don’t mind taking a bit of a cut but the salaries being offered are abysmal and I need money to live and also pay for uni!! So I am thinking of looking for another non-legal position in the meantime, but I’m worried it would give a negative impression on my commitment to law when doing applications. If there’s any advice anyone can give then I’ll really appreciate it, but I just wanted to get this off my chest 😭 [/QUOTE]
