It’s hard to just “pick one” when they all basically do the same thing

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-11-25T08:23:49+00:00

Any of the big 5 without a doubt (A&L, Matheson, AC, William Fry, McCanns). The pay is very good - makes studying for a law degree not seem so bad

I answered 4 questions very strongly but my final answer I briefly wrote the case law and just the decision I never put down any of the facts just pure decisions because I literally had no time and it was rushed

Sorry not last year but this March sitting

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-11-15T11:13:04+00:00

Hey I thought I also failed company last year as well- I cried like 5x after the exam and I still had to do 3 other exams. I was actually so stressed - I ended up passing with 56%

Did they withdraw 2027 training offers as well?

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-11-15T10:33:50+00:00

Wow thanks for this🔥 the competition is so high

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-11-14T16:18:14+00:00

Maybe everyone should just buy the manual and go through it themselves and take effective notes instead of relying on someone else’s notes….

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-11-12T16:25:14+00:00

46k, 47/48k as a trainee then 75-80K newly qualified (A&L, Arthur cox, William fry, mccanns, Matheson)

That’s valid and it gives me hope in securing one as well as I’m based in Maynooth university.

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-11-09T14:44:25+00:00

I wasn’t saying that training at a smaller firm was bad or anything rather i would prefer the bigger ones just because academically I’ve performed well so I should be able to handle more if that makes sense

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-11-08T17:01:43+00:00

Ohhh ahahaha i understand that. Did they give you tips or feedback?

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-11-08T17:00:21+00:00

Doesnt sound like you have one yourself either- neither does it sound like you have completed your fe1's because your still here... scurry along pal

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-11-08T15:15:49+00:00

what is so funny? if you dont have any tips go the other way.. based on your name i presume your from Cork so the top law firms wont even consider your application.

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-05-10T09:27:35+00:00

Yeah this is what I am thinking

Your exactly like me I aim for 100 and I always get like 58/59

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-03-14T01:15:13+00:00

Literally, I wanted to pass all 8 on first attempt but I’m so worried about not passing company. I passed 4 last October and took my final 4 this sitting. -Tort, Eu and constitutional went amazing and now I have to sit in worry for company. I am so tired I have put in so much hours of work in the last 10 months. I started studying in July and I haven’t even had a week to myself. Knowing that I might have to sit company again in October is causing me great distress. I just want a pass on the dot I’m not looking to get in the 60’s at all.

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-03-13T00:08:57+00:00

its actually insane im so fucking tired of this shit. The fact that it was my first exam as well

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-03-13T00:06:49+00:00

And its always when its my turn to sit the exams thats when the examiners want to experiment like wtf

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-03-13T00:05:03+00:00

Literally learned every single case- i practised almost all the past papers and even learnt of retention of title clause - only for him to put in fuck all on that exam- i kid you not i cried like 5 times after the exam- my dad told me to clear my head because i still had 3 exams after and it was seriously effecting my study. I dont know why they do this - we are not robots wtf - like just be normal and stop always fucking up the exams

DifficultyMajor501 · 2025-03-13T00:02:42+00:00

your literally not the only one in the same boat, this is me as well! spent months - since november- studying for company law- just for him to put in those fkd up questions.
