Good summary Fredr123 but I would have to say that not all articles are a living hell. At the City everyone was there to help you and you progressed way faster than private firms. I was doing discoveries on my own by the tenth month. I have heard it is way worse at the big firms where it is a bit of "I went through hell so now I will make this person's experience hell". I don't get that attitude but c'est la vie. Maybe that is why I'm not at a big firm.
I also agree with the comment of being patient and contacting as many of the small to medium firms you can.
