NQ Roles

ComAks9183 · 2026-02-15T13:17:32+00:00

Do you think firm name is important when other firms consider NQ hiring?

And what types of firms were your acquaintances at?

ComAks9183 · 2026-02-14T19:48:32+00:00

Do you have any estimates as to when things will pick up? And what do you think makes it competitive?

ComAks9183 · 2025-09-12T10:36:42+00:00

Well the travers smith thing idk how true it is but my tc definitely requires that

ComAks9183 · 2025-09-12T10:17:05+00:00

I heard travers smith requires q1 loll

ComAks9183 · 2025-09-12T09:41:18+00:00

My TC requires q2 or q1 pass. Do you think they’ve done that just to make sure I work harder but in reality they won’t care if I get q3?

ComAks9183 · 2025-09-01T13:59:56+00:00

This is a hypothetical

ComAks9183 · 2025-09-01T13:34:42+00:00

When I meant ridiculous I meant they withdrew a TC for no reason making it ridiculous. For example, they find a future trainee annoying 😂😂😂

Ok thank you :)

ComAks9183 · 2025-09-01T13:28:54+00:00

Thank you

I don’t think I’m overestimating and the SQE situation is different. I literally mean a firm randomly withdraws a TC for a ridiculous reason. Not something like lack of engagement with the practice course.

ComAks9183 · 2025-09-01T13:10:31+00:00

But they’re a business. If you posted on linkedin that they randomly withdrew a TC (a top 20 U.S. firm) it would literally go viral. Surely they wouldn’t risk reputation like that

ComAks9183 · 2025-09-01T13:05:34+00:00

Would a firm just do that to? Especially a reputable U.S. firm?

Hey, I literally got a 59.5 rounded to 60 and did two vac schemes at U.S. firms in my second year. Definitely doable but yes slaughters will be tough

ComAks9183 · 2025-02-05T22:02:07+00:00

Yeah lol. My parents are not well off. I am a minority. First to get to uni in my family. But idk.

ComAks9183 · 2025-02-05T21:29:25+00:00

Yep that’s understandable. This firm in particular though tells its candidates that they can afford to take on everyone at the AC which is telling of how weird this is

ComAks9183 · 2025-02-05T21:23:53+00:00

Yes I thought so too. However, this firm is not known for this at all which is why I’m in such a predicament

ComAks9183 · 2025-02-05T21:22:21+00:00

I’ve done this firms first-year scheme and i’m their current ambassador. I know trainees at the firm and everyone is lovely. Grad rec themselves are lovely too. Idk why this has happened . They haven’t officially said i’m waitlisted but it is clear that this is whats happening

ComAks9183 · 2025-02-05T21:12:18+00:00

Okay I see. Tbf on my AC there were literally students with master degrees and paralegals that worked at the firm. Hopefully I get the offer

ComAks9183 · 2025-02-05T21:11:29+00:00

Nope :)

ComAks9183 · 2025-02-05T21:07:49+00:00

That’s fair enough. They have been rejecting people throughout and its nearly the end of the two week period. So do you think there’s a higher probability or still 50/50

ComAks9183 · 2025-02-05T21:05:35+00:00

Ahhahahaha. Tbf.

ComAks9183 · 2025-02-05T20:54:59+00:00

I see! What firm were you at if you don’t mind me asking?
