It was a bit confusing, but once you login, go to the right side of the screen and there is a heading "Candidate Profile" and underneath a link to "Access my profile". Click on that and scroll down to basic profile information.
My basic profile information only says employee status/schedule nothing about a score but says it was updated today?

    Hey guys, can I do the cool emoji thing for Akin Gump please? 😆

    ✅ - Received AC invite
    👍 - No news post-WG
    ❌ - PFO post-WG

    I completed the WG in mid December and well exceeded my expectations on the score but have heard nothing. 😕
    I completed WG on Friday and emailed them about my WG score but no email reply about my score.

    This is my first application cycle as a career changer (from finance), so it's all pretty new to me. But am I right in thinking that firms send out ac invites in waves, to what are presumably the most desirable candidates first. If the places get filled from this then so be it, if they dont, they hand out ac invites to the next banding of candidates.

    Or is this my imagination..
    Sometimes firms do this, but it's not always the case.
