If my interview is centred around a debate of an article, would it then be okay to ask what their view is of the topic in the part for questions at the end? Don’t want to appear invasive
You could - but I wouldn’t spend too much time trying to do this. It’s your opportunity to talk about the firm to find out more about it to work out whether it’s right for you, and you could miss out on this opportunity if you only talk about the article. However, I think an initial question about their thoughts on something in the article is fine.If my interview is centred around a debate of an article, would it then be okay to ask what their view is of the topic in the part for questions at the end?

No. First you’re sent the online tests. If you’re successful in passing them, then you’re sent the job simulation.Hey everyone!
I completed the Mayer Brown Vac Scheme application last night and I am wondering if they automatically invite you to job simulation or they review your application first?
Are the online tests automatic?No. First you’re sent the online tests. If you’re successful in passing them, then you’re sent the job simulation.
Also roll on friday do as well I think.Have you checkout out Glassdoor? They usually have all salaries on there
This is probably a fine question to ask but I think there is something to be said for reading between the lines from the interviewers. I assume this is a partner interview in the style seen at Slaughters, where they'll push you on either side of a question. After the back-and-forth it might well be clear where the interviewer comes out on the question - a smile, a chuckle might give this away.If my interview is centred around a debate of an article, would it then be okay to ask what their view is of the topic in the part for questions at the end?

Don't know for sure but I'd expect them to be in market with the most elite US firms for NQ pay - c. £150kHas anyone heard anything back from Greenberg Traurig??
Also if anyone has any inside info on their 1st-year trainee/NQ salary I'd be intrigued to know. Seeing as most law firms are so open about salary the fact I haven't seen any mention of it anywhere is making me a bit sceptical.
Considering their revenue, size, US roots, ranking etc I assume it will be pretty similar to other US firms in the city with around £50k for year 1 and then £120k plus for NQ but would be interested to know.
No. There is only one way you can increase your percentile score in a WG test and that is getting the questions correct.I wanted to know for Watson Glaser percentile does how long you complete the test in effect your percentile. For example, if you complete it in 15 minutes and you have 30 minutes for it and if yes does speed increase your percentile. What are your thoughts on this @Jessica Booker
Thank you very much for this.No. There is only one way you can increase your percentile score in a WG test and that is getting the questions correct.
Remember, your percentile score is based on how you do in comparison to the other candidates taking the test, so it would make no bearing on your score if you do it quickly or slowly.
have you done the digital interview?Has anyone done SPB assessment? I am still confused about what it is going to be? specially that is only 10 mins :/
No, I am asking if anyone done it ^^^^have you done the digital interview?
It'll just be the usual video interview with 3 questions I assume.No, I am asking if anyone done it ^^^^
Yes - I got a reply on January 15th after doing the Watson GlaserHas anyone heard from Bates Wells?
I hope soIt'll just be the usual video interview with 3 questions I assume.
Some WG assessments have a time factor, others do not.I wanted to know for Watson Glaser percentile does how long you complete the test in effect your percentile.

I could be wrong but I don't think this is quite right - accuracy is more important than speed, but I've definitely heard of WG tests that have time as a factorNo. There is only one way you can increase your percentile score in a WG test and that is getting the questions correct.

Like, insofar as two scores are otherwise equal - let's say 34/40 with precisely the same responses - you will score better having done it in 15 minutes than in 25.I could be wrong but I don't think this is quite right - accuracy is more important than speed, but I've definitely heard of WG tests that have time as a factor
