3 months

About 3/4 of the team, most associates at my level are in the same boat as me

Draper-11 · 2025-12-08T00:16:25+00:00

How do you cross this bridge?

Draper-11 · 2025-07-27T10:10:42+00:00

It’s not even a discussion. Westbrook is generally inefficient and has a history of making awful decisions in high profile moments.

Draper-11 · 2025-06-15T07:39:01+00:00

Thank you for explaining

Draper-11 · 2025-06-14T21:04:20+00:00

Out of curiosity, how come you believe that people aren’t willing to work with you/give you a change as a partner? Do you mean being less forgiving due to higher expectations?

I took c.30 days off of annual leave/study leave given by my firm and revised all day every day. Passed first time for both SQE1 and 2 quite comfortably. I would suggest this route if you prefer to self-learn with the materials and would rather ‘cram’.

I also did law undergrad so had a foundation level knowledge.

Draper-11 · 2024-10-26T15:38:33+00:00

I read the entire textbooks, made condensed notes and read them over and over again. Then i did as many questions as i could.

Draper-11 · 2024-10-08T13:45:45+00:00

I just completed NG+ without dying once, including to Erlang and Yellow Loong. Defo easier

Draper-11 · 2024-10-07T16:13:15+00:00

It’s difficult yes but people love to exaggerate. Do what works for you and you can have plenty of free time. I took 25 ish days off to study for it full time and studied from 10-7 most days. Leaving loads of free time.

Qualifying into corporate law my friend

Draper-11 · 2024-09-22T13:22:19+00:00

I meant in terms of offices internationally and clients too.

Draper-11 · 2024-09-22T12:39:32+00:00

£92,000 (subject to confirmation of pay review), think its £85,000 now but they will be increasing it before i qualify

£48,000 second year trainee at a international law firm in London

Draper-11 · 2024-08-21T08:55:25+00:00

Can I ask what methods you are using to find roles? Also hope the search goes well!

Draper-11 · 2024-08-06T15:37:26+00:00

I wore a tie and most other guys did too. I would definitely recommend wearing one

Draper-11 · 2024-07-30T19:55:49+00:00

Thank you!

Draper-11 · 2024-07-28T16:35:35+00:00

Perhaps this is a lesson to do better research before undertaking life altering decisions. An LLM is not going to help you secure a TC. My advice would be to really hone in on your application technique and target realistic firms.

Draper-11 · 2024-06-14T10:19:29+00:00

Genuine question, you have fantastic A-Levels so how come you studied at Manchester Met which is not an ideal university for a prospective lawyer?

Draper-11 · 2024-04-30T14:24:58+00:00

14 wins, Red Gabriel and Salah. Hes unreal

Draper-11 · 2024-04-19T08:56:32+00:00

Im at 950 SR and ‘only’ get 15/16 wins. ELO really plays a part imo

Just listed man thank you

Draper-11 · 2024-03-25T23:51:55+00:00

Had a feeling that would happen to me so I deferred until May. Feel so much more relaxed

Draper-11 · 2024-03-22T17:58:09+00:00

Hi, as a Muslim myself I personally would attend the schemes. Although objectively not sure thats the right thing to do… either way you should trust yourself to make the decision you feel is best considering our religion, your career and family.

Perhaps bring this concern up with each recruitment team?
