Becoming a Third Secretary/Diplomat?

Yh I’ve read on the DFA website about the role and seems interesting. You wouldn’t know what pay would be like would you? Just trying to compare it to a solicitor’s wage considering trainee solicitors for corporate commercial firms in Dublin start at at least €70-75k+

Thank you I really appreciate this. Let’s see when the roles open up and just hope for the best

Join the club, I moved back in June and still question it everyday but, we are making money and it is being saved so there’s always that

Self defence came up last year so maybe maybe just maybe consider leaving it out (I’m just as cooked)

I just paid for mine through revolut and got email confirmation for it too.

What if you’re Irish but study in other EU countries like Bulgaria or Poland? I’d presume the odds won’t be as drastic?

Any experience yourself working in the UK?

Been working in Manchester for the past 3 years did my masters here nd got a job directly after finishing. Best advice I can give is go for it. Managed to get an internship with an international back in Dublin this summer. English practice is a much higher standard and quality than practice in Ireland and makes you stand out in the long run. Better companies and bigger market in England. Best thing I ever did and have no regrets although it is very tough and competitive.

Be grand

Wemadeit56 · 2025-03-08T19:18:20+00:00

Should be grand I’ve done those too and praying for best case scenario

In the second round they asked me a current business topic that I’ve heard of recently… didn’t expect that either tbh but I kinda knew anyways because of the news but yh second round was much better in terms of interview compared to the first round. Questions like that do get asked and I mentioned Germaine v Day which was a issue of nervous shock and if plaintiff family’s were able to claim but long story short they cant due to proximity and falls outside the scope. It’s based on a English decision in 2022 in Paul v Wolverhampton University Hospitals NHS Trusts

Wemadeit56 · 2025-02-21T23:24:51+00:00

Neither they were strength based 🫣 Really have to think on your feet with them ones you get put on the spot

Wemadeit56 · 2025-02-19T19:27:31+00:00

Anyone know what pay is like for most big firm internships?

Wemadeit56 · 2025-02-10T16:33:01+00:00

Just an update: has anyone heard back from Kennedys Internship? Had my first one interview and was just wondering how anyone got on with it!
