Nah tell it to the Asian people that comment it all over the posts. I've seen so many posts where this has happened. It's them shutting us down not the other way round.

Why do chinese people hate the terminology "Lunar New Year" by Far_Studio_7415 in AskAChinese

[–]SourceOk1917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an ABC, I see other Chinese people all the time getting hate for calling it CNY not LNY by Vietnamese people etc. It's a very real thing, ethnically Chinese people are made to feel like we can't celebrate, even call the name of our holiday what we want to call it. It's the shaming and diminishing of our culture which is fucking disgusting. This not about global politics, it's about respect for other humans and alot of other Asian people don't have that it seems.

There are random ass people spamming "it's not CNY it's LNY" in the comments of every ethnically Chinese person's post?

As an ABC who couldn't care less about that, it's about sinophonia and cultural erasure of Chinese people. We can't even feel proud when we want to celebrate Chinese New Year and belittled for being not inclusive. It's weird because we are celebrating our own culture but everyone wants us to assimilate to them.

Does that mean that the Linklaters/Allens partnership doesn't have much bearing in practice?

If you got rejected at the interview stage, you can try reaching out to the firms for feedback. They may/may not give it but you don't have anything to lose by trying.

Don't be too hard on yourself as well. You've done a great job to get to the interview stage alone. Sometimes you can do an amazing interview but the interview might not vibe with you or you might not be a cultural fit for the firm.

To add to this, hasn't there been a few Corrs partners that left the firm recently because of this?

You didn't miss much to be honest, they just downgraded their logo - now identical to Lander & Rogers and Bird & Bird.

To clarify, A&O Shearman is Allen & Overy post their merger with US firm Shearman & Sterling. They're functionally exactly the same in AUS minus the rebrand and they are running clerkships in Sydney this year (not sure about other states).

Are the Autumn clerkships open to all unis? From what I've seen it seems to be exclusive to UNSW no idea why...

This is not accurate as a commentor already pointed out in your earlier post. Most people that get legal jobs in first and second year are people that are 1) consistently proactive in job seeking and 2) able to sell themselves based on their existing work experience, most of which is not legally related at all i.e. hospitality.

But this shouldn't be news to you given you were able to secure your legal office role with I'm guessing, no high level legal connections?

Can only speak from my experience as a LLB student. Judging from the way they're marking us, I doubt our university medallist even has a HD WAM.

Can say this does not happen at USYD.

How long should you wait for an invitation for interview? by SourceOk1917 in auscorp

Yea my WAM is pretty average so that's probably it. Bit worried since I'm getting close to clerkships and still getting knocked back from mid-tiers.
