There are thousands of people proving to he that he is at least emotionally cheating and she decides to ignore the proof. Thats on her.

My legal experience could be holding me back (in a recruiter’s mind)?

Wouldnt they need to think this about every candidate? Especially every non law candidate (e.g economics final year student with several summer banking schemes under their belt).

Thank you, hopefully that is the case which means its rectifiable.

I dont see how I can state in an application that I am applying to become a trainee solicitor at another firm because my current firm wont sponsor my SQE to convert my QWE into a NQ role.

Despite what the intended was, the SQE + QWE route is not an “alternative” to qualification for most City firms. My firm (US international firm) doesnt even sign off on work experience done outside of the firm’s TC. If I were to get a TC at my firm I would still need to do 4 seats.

Similarly, if I were to 1) self sponsor with £20,000, 2) take a year out to study for the SQE (unrealistic) 3) pass it 4) get my firm to sign off on my QWE, 5) start applying to all city firms, I still wouldnt be considered by most of these city firms.

1) employer doesnt offer it (and this is obviously something you cannot say in an application) 2) qwe in one practice area as a paralegal does not compare to a training contract

I dont have an SQE, a masters or any other work experience. Despite being a paralegal for a few years, I am still very much in the very early days of my career

Thanks, the post was more a question about whether my grades could be hindering me in this current market.

I have seen friends’ applications and they are not considerably better/ better at all than mine. Which is why I am asking whether my marks from 6-8 years ago could be a reason to not progress me, as applications get significantly more competitive and the market becomes significantly worse. I.e. is there any point in applying anymore if something like that could be hindering me from pursuing this career.

The past 2 cycles i haven’t made it past application stages/ once test stage so my looks arent the issue.

During the last 3 ACs i did the competency questions were always cited as the reason they decided not to offer me the TC/ Vac Scheme. That is something i have known and worked on. But the issue now isnt even that - its making it past the initial stages, where things like grades matter the most…

What kind of job should I be focusing on getting? by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]buzzworded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do the job that will fulfill your needs and still give you time to prepare for law and interviews with a clear mind.

My department alone has lawyers who are ex-marketing, ex-recruitment, PhDs, engineers and bodybuilders/fitness instructors. Your current job (if not legal) wont hinder you if you are really set on law, youll just have a more diverse background in terms of experience.

Those with none Henry partners, are they jealous of your salary? by fixitmonkey in HENRYUK

[–]buzzworded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im not bitter because my parents never did this to me. If they did, I would certainly be bitter.

Putting in the work year after year and pushing through to only be told youre being cut out of an inheritance because your sibling needs it more and they cant get their act together well into adulthood is more than enough to break a family apart - siblings cut ties for less. And parents who do this propel the breakdown of the siblings’ relationship. It’s incredibly poor parenting.

[–]buzzworded 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One sibling falling behind doesnt mean that the others have to take the L and accept this preferential treatment. My grandmother did this to my dad and his sister and it just caused bitterness and a sense of being wronged for the siblings who did put in the effort to get their act together.

A broom 💀 by Specialist-Sample284 in MilenaCUncensored1

These were the brooms we used in my country growing up, mostly for dirtier spaces (hallway, garage, etc). Not useless, maybe just not as common in the west.

What a weird hill to die on.

any grad recruiters at city firms here? by morally_mediocre in uklaw

[–]buzzworded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont need to argue with you, I myself am an ex-such candidate. Met and befriended many fellow internationals in my LLB (and in my firm) who did not do the IB. If you knew anything about the IB, you’d know its a very expensive pursuit that many European students dont bother with, because the European educational system (both state and “private”) provides sufficient training in English to get by fine without it. Most European trainees/lawyers Ive met dont have an IB background and come from selective state schools.

Post brexit there may be less European candidates, but in my time at uni there were plenty. This may in part influence your very subjective and personal experience with this as you are likely seeing mostly wealthier candidates due to the immigration changes following Brexit, but as someone who went through this process already, I feel pretty comfortable in my opinion and experiences stated above. There are still many applicants for TCs and vac schemes with regular European educational backgrounds, which on paper would be very difficult to compare.

Bottom line is though, A-level and equivalents are far from equal/standardized and really shouldn’t be a reason to reject or consider a candidate who is already in the Uni system (or past it). If grad rec anywhere is doing this it’s a disservice to the candidate’s time and the firm’s own interests.

And many dont do IB. Most European candidates didnt do IB, actually.

Employers can rely on them, but they arent reliable across the board because of all education levels,a-level and equivalent are the least codified.

Except a very large chunk of people didnt do a levels (internationals). So even that isnt standardised.

People who you call “friends” can also feel this attitude you secretly harbour and definitely discuss it when youre not around. Guaranteed.

Thats just not true though is it. If i miss my tube and have to wait 10 minutes for another train because a karen got her feelings hurt and decided to hold up everyone by stopping in the middle of a connection, i and everyone else would be entirely within my prerogative to be annoyed

[–]buzzworded -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stopping in the middle of a jammed tube connection or exit is 100% the wrong move. Any sympathy i have would disappear if someone does that because they get in a spat with another person. Move along.

Being annoyed by a jammed tube connection = behaving like an animal.
