From my understanding of in house work, many people go for it as is many instances there appears to be a better work life balance. This for some people can be worth much more than having a higher salary.

Any updates I have received have been from this thread and even still I have only seen two people that have received rejection emails at different times. I haven't actually seen anyone being offered an intern position yet (on here, linked in etc) but I would find it most unusual for them to send out their rejections before their offers. I'm trying to be hopeful but it's getting exhausting not knowing and constantly checking my phone. Does anyone know someone who has actually received an offer?

Legal19998 wrote: » I'm trying to remain positive but its pretty hard to with knowing people have received offers already. You'd wonder if those of us in limbo are being kept around as back ups in case someone declines an offer or something like that
Diamond_Hands wrote: » All the offers are sent out in one batch, usually within a day or morning and afternoon. If someone declines an offer, the next person in line quickly gets a call. As the offers were sent out last week, sorry to say, it seems like DE is filled up for their programme. The fact that you haven't received a response is an unfortunate reflection of Irish law firms being a bit rude about not getting back to people at all.

I'm finished with the process myself but it's depressing seeing people hit a such a wall trying to get into firms on the basis of their Leaving Cert.

I would be happy to be corrected about this, but I think some other places have similar policies in place. I don't agree with it of course.
