i ended up going with lovells, because i want to do IP law.. the HR of both firms were equally nice and supportive
but i felt i really want to make a name in a smaller firm first.. might have better exposure and stuff
but deacons was nice enough to invite me for june/july
---
now...
out of curiousity guys,
would you rather be a no-body in a big firm, or someone with a name in a smaller firm?
i had a hard time deciding between deacons and lovells for hk (which most ppl went 'wat is that'), but i felt it's the right choice... =\
goodluck!!!
i donno if I will ever do well in syd clerkship race..but after 2 years dealing with the HR at HDY for unsw events, i love the people there... i can talk to them (esp jane) about anything, im sending her a small gift for her upcoming baby. LOL
..just my two cents.
wow. congras guys!
as for my hk clerkship, i got offer from lovells... i probably will reject deacons due to clash (it was a pretty hard decision thou...)
still waiting to hear from simmons, reed smith, bakers and freshfields (really hoping for last two)
ha. that's random! I wouldnt be able to answer that.
I am already rejected by Jones Day. Got about another 8 to hear from..
Freshfield emailed me couple of days ago, asking for my transcripts cause I forgot to attach them!!!!!!!! =\
Otherwise, just waiting...
Yes, I been stalking this thread for a while too..
and I think Mel definitely deserve that Gaden card. =)
Goodluck!!
(I am sort of in the race too.. but for HK clerkships.. not sure if anyone here is participating in that.. goodluck!)
