It was an UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME day!!! I am still sitting here in disbelief. I don't usually do this but let me share my happiness....
Year 2s all worry about one particular thing. Yep, the dreaded word : Internship. up until today, i was too sweating over what i will be doing this summer. ppl closer to me would know how important it is to me to get something this summer, and despite all my efforts, I was left hanging by a thread. but today....
i got not 1, not 2, but 3 offers! I still can't believe it.
Baker & McKenzie offered me a place on their International Summer Placement, and if i take it up I will be off to sunny california!!! i still can't believe it.
Allen & Overy gave me a call today as well and informed me that they are offering me a place on their vacation placement scheme, from late jun to mid july. Allen are really my ideal firm and it's really incredibly tempting. BUT
Goldman Sachs are offering me a summer internship as well!!! in their legal operations division nonetheless!!! i'm dizzy with delight now. GOLDMAN SACHS! their pay package is pretty attractive, 500pds a week and 100pds living allowance to pay for rent. and i live just like 5 mins walk away from them. it's smashing news!! you have no idea how prestigious this internship is. oh my goodness, i still can't quite believe it.
but the thing is i can't do all 3. quite obviously i have to make some choices. I guess i'll just call back home and see what my parents say.
