Is it a decent firm? With good future prospects.

It is a large national firm, but in terms of like future prospects, if I wanted to move to a bigger firm as NQ or overall good enough to be taken serious by silver circle firm etc.

Because I’m thinking if it’s worth enough to relocate to Exeter for the TC, because it is an investment the first 2-3 years in any firm. And then maybe choose a different firm.

NQ roles are equally as hard to get that’s why I wanna make sure my stepping stone firm is going to give me some advantage to stand out :)

Honestly feels weird asking this with all the technology and ChatGPT available online.

Can I get a comprehensive guidance on the SQE. Someone who wants to take in Jan 2027 (think that’s when the next one is)

Right now I’m just researching. But i definitely want to take it. Just need guidance on everything I should know. Like everything.

I’ll be honest I didn’t even know FLK 1 is broken down into 90 questions.

I want to hear from a real person who experienced this as a beginner instead of ChatGPT. Because honestly we have to LITERALLY memorise a whole book??! There has to be catch to it, like multiple choice questions, a trick on what they focus. Like is it questions more on the police or actual criminal situations etc. to understand the format.

Anyways can I get a comprehensive guide everything I need to know :)

You know when you get a email from your boss and it’s smth unprofessional or borderline wrong or breaks the HR rules. People always say to CC the HR when replying. For example for issues like cancelling the holidays wrongfully or wrongfully request.

Are they not scared of ruining the relationship with the boss? Like clearly it will make an impression or have an impact on how your boss will treat you going ahead? I think promotions will be more harder and just that bad energy.

Or is that normal in corporate and nothing personal?

Hi I’ve got my first vac scheme and I was wondering what to wear, it’s gonna run for week and probably on last day there will be like a networking dinner etc.

The assessment centre will be mid week.

Anyways I know I can wear formal first day? But what about other days? Can I just repeat the same outfit across 5 days? Or what others way I can look professional.

I’ve got quarter zip but it’s in like brown and honestly never really tried that look with tie. Feels too much layered and then what about the pants

Update: is this fine? This is the most “plain” looking one I have. I got a navy one but it’s more like a dinner party

Has anyone been part of the summer Exeter scheme with Ashfords LLP?

It’s technically going to be my first vacation scheme, and of course I want to prepare for it the best way. There’s still plenty of time, but I wanted to ask for tips and whether the firm is worth it long term. I genuinely like the firm and I’m interested in it, but as law students we tend to apply for every opportunity. Especially coming from Manchester, I’m trying to think realistically about long term goals. Of course any TC is valuable, but still.

Also, what should I expect overall?

And one more thing, I’d ideally relocate to Exeter for the week. Any good hotel recommendations? Do they usually pay for attending the scheme? I know they cover accommodation. And just generally, how can I make the most of it?

Based on my top 5 can someone tell me good shows to watch please? Please don’t be generic like squid game etc

1. Prison break

2. From

3. Severance

4. 30 coins

5. Money heist

Has anyone received any update on Browne Jacobson trainee pathway?

Have they started booking interviews etc? I recently got a email saying I failed to complete to online assessment and then later another one saying that it was a mistake.

But have they started the next stage?
