I remember just four years ago, law firms were fighting to secure pupils. I dropped my resume at each of the Big4s and Baker and got interview invites from all. I went for my first interview with A&G, and immediately got offered a TC on the spot. I even had to fret about drafting polite interview cancellation emails to the other 4 firms. LOL.

And I wasn't even a spectacular candidate. Just a decent 2:1 with no internships whatsoever. Life was so much easier for fresh grads then.
