[QUOTE="rn7, post: 11661, member: 2026"] Hello everyone! My name is Rick. I just got done with the first year of my LLB. Much more fun than I imagined! What hasn't been so fun is the mountain of rejections from insight schemes and open days ;( I feel the rejections were due to my mediocre foreign diploma (equivalent to ABB). I wasn't too focused in college and I do regret it. At least now, after a gap year, it's out of my system and I'm much more focused on the future. Poor commercial awareness is definitely another factor. I got through to interviews with BCLP and DLA, both of which I bombed because I didn't know what a PE fund was. That's what prompted me to join TCLA. I've been going through the courses over the past month. I also read 'Know the City' by Stoakes, per Jaysen's recommendation in another thread. Definitely a great read! The PE and M&A courses on here were very informative and delivered in an easily-digestible way. A great starting point which sparked my interest for further research into these areas. I don't know how Jaysen can spare the time to come up with these courses and contribute to this site while also working at a firm as demanding his. All I can say is: Thank you! Anyway, I've chattered on far too much. What matters is that I'm glad to be on board and hope to be able to contribute in the future. [/QUOTE]
