Hey what’s your best advice for someone doing a 2 week summer vac scheme in the uk at an international law firm?

[@SuccessWithSteph]

Understand that a vac scheme is a holistic assessment. You've got to do well overall and the most important bit is probably the interpersonal / people you work with liking you tbh. Yes work hard on the written task / group assessment etc and make sure all work is handed in on time but don't get too in your head if for whatever reason something goes wrong with that because you're assessed overall not just on one bit

Awesome thanks
