[QUOTE="FutureTrainee213, post: 229629, member: 43504"] It’s a tricky one because sure Mayer Brown may not be your first choice, but something about it must have taken your liking for you to apply right? I wouldn’t suggest compromising anything for a first choice, as nothing is set in stone, and you don’t want to leave yourself without options in the event your top choices aren’t successful. That being said, I would only do the online assessment if it does not significantly affect the quality of your upcoming application/2 other firm assessments that you care more about. If you can make the time, then try, but if not, then avoid the Mayer Brown assessment. It seems like it’ll take some investment as I believe their VI’s require knowledge of the firm/work. I agree, balancing is hard, but remember to be kind to yourself. One of my biggest regrets from my TC journey was the constant mental torture of trying to do so much at once. So, don’t do anything that pushes you towards a burnout. [/QUOTE]
