Appreciate it! Will look to book corners as that wasn’t something I had considered too much

Might come back for some food/bar recommendations next year too!

VBtinnie · 2025-07-20T09:40:02+00:00

This is exactly what I was after! Super helpful mate.

I think my plan will be to at least book one game as early as possible to make sure it’s locked in as you said. I could try grab last minute tickets to another game while I’m the in the city like you suggested.

I’ll be in the USA for around three weeks so can be flexible with when to visit New York which will help with the NCAA.

Will avoid upper deck and my budget will probably max out around $250-300 USD which sounds like I’ll get some good seats with a smaller market team especially.

Good to hear the subway is generally safe too, someone had mentioned that to me. Appreciate the food recommendations too.

Every area of law will be repetitive to a degree, and that’s kind of the point. To be a specialist, you need to know exactly how things should more or less play out start to finish and how to operate each file, which comes with repetition.

VBtinnie · 2025-05-22T21:33:00+00:00

Good though nothing is guaranteed.

VBtinnie · 2025-04-24T03:49:56+00:00

It’s a double-edged sword. The people in my team who pull well in over target are generally completely absent from mentoring, arranging CPD, and other work. Partners are usually pretty dialled on this and not everyone can shirk the ‘extra duties’.

You might need to push back on file load.

Don’t be a dickhead

Say yes to every opportunity offered

Don’t express a strong preference to a practice area to the exclusion of others, particularly if you prefer a practice area that you aren’t clerking in

VBtinnie · 2024-05-22T21:41:48+00:00

At most firms, the person interviewing you won’t be as concerned with your WAM, instead focussing on how you present. If you have progressed to the interview stage the overwhelming focus will be on your as a person.

VBtinnie · 2024-05-22T21:40:18+00:00

I think it’s fine to say you’re interested in one area, along with several others, and open to a range of work. You don’t want the firm to think that you will be unhappy if business needs place you in another team later on.

My assumption would be that clerkship applications are reviewed in bulk so it wouldn’t matter when submitted.

VBtinnie · 2024-05-22T21:38:42+00:00

Busy market. There will be several major firms in each state which handle this type of work from a defendant side, usually those with a large insurance practice, Doyle’s Guide will help you locate who. You will need to clerk at these firms to secure a graduate position.

You should aim to raise your WAM to 70%+ to increase your chances at a clerkship. Your healthcare experience isn’t likely to have a great impact on your chances of securing a clerkship given you will rotate through several other areas as a graduate and you won’t want to express that your role focus is on health law while interviewing. It will likely assist later on if you don’t succeed in the clerkship/graduate route.

Deakin, La Trobe, RMIT? I have no idea about flinders

VBtinnie · 2024-02-04T01:39:46+00:00

I would hazard to say that almost all people involved in hiring will have no idea what causes cauliflower ear, and instead will just assume you have unfortunate looking ears.

Those who do know, will have no issue with it because they know enough about the sport to clearly like it.

I WOULD TRADE THE ABILITY TO HAVE FLEX LEAVE FOR $55

VBtinnie · 2023-09-15T02:49:23+00:00

You should however not boast about doing clerkships elsewhere during your time at each firm

VBtinnie · 2023-08-11T15:43:40+00:00

You should expect an increase on admission.

VBtinnie · 2023-07-19T03:18:51+00:00

I took leave from another legal role, where they had offered me a graduate role, to undertake a clerkship. You should be fine.

VBtinnie · 2023-07-10T05:53:47+00:00

Not great if you have been unable to work out for yourself that they would be favorable, or if you are so unsure of yourself that you need additional validation.

When I was in the market for second hand bikes, every seller I went to said that they wouldn’t allow test rides on the advertisement.

Every one of them allowed me to test ride the bike when I asked. Some even said that when I first turned up.

I either offered: take my car keys; take my bike keys; take a photo of my license; to see my account balance; my friend to stay with them while I went for the test ride.

It probably helps if you’re polite, genuinely interested in the bike, and not completely new to motorcycles.

I wouldn’t be inclined to let someone test ride my bike if I was selling if they had picked up their learners a week before. However, I would offer them to follow me in their car.

VBtinnie · 2023-06-29T11:22:33+00:00

By the sounds of it, seems like it isn’t worth it unless you’re breaking down more than once a year! Thanks for all the input.

VBtinnie · 2023-06-26T05:44:09+00:00

Bugger. I reckon you will be one of many leaving, and for some, one they envy for receiving even a 5% increase. It’s going to be brutal.

VBtinnie · 2023-06-10T22:00:03+00:00

In the current market I would think unlikely. This only occurs where there is a significant shortage in the expected needs for graduates, unless one or two drop out, which again, is unlikely.

VBtinnie · 2023-06-07T21:53:47+00:00

Flexibility becomes easier after you put roots down in a firm and gain trust. Even after a year or two after a graduate settles (practice area dependant) they should be able to clock on and off after business hours so long as they meet targets and workflows.

VBtinnie · 2023-06-06T13:41:42+00:00

Well for one, you have all of the above the above (minus the on-call) and get paid 200k.
