You may need to qualify into an area you know has space for you. The advice I'm receiving is to look into litigation, restructuring/insolvency and white collar crime.

What areas are you interested in and what're your firms offerings?

London folk, question for you: do firms and offices in London not recruit candidates directly?

What are peoples opinions on work from home? It seems to be an unpopular opinion but as a junior I despise it.

I’ve never at all had mental health issues before but now am really starting to feel burnt out and anxious most of the time. What do you think?
