I noticed that some people already got Debevoise ACs (but fewer than last year based on the responses on the forum?), so I was wondering whether anyone knows whether they tend to send out AC invites in more than one batch...

It's the first AC's on the forum mate, I wouldn't worry. They will send them in batches. Last year, one of my friends heard in March!

On my AC offer they gave a choice of two dates (which they said would have 30 people each) but they tend to offer 100 people ACs each cycle (I attended an event not long ago where GR confirmed this), so I think they will still be sending more out!! dw :)

Hi all,

Has anyone completed the Video Interview for Vinson & Elkins for the 2021-22 cycle? If so, I would like to ask two questions.

Firstly, are you allowed to record your answer as many times as you like? (this was the case last year, unsure if this is so this year and am hesitant to commence the process prematurely.)

Secondly, how would you recommend preparing? Any insight into the nature of the questions asked and how to prepare would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Has anyone at all heard from Pinsents post test? If yes, what dates have they given you for the AC? They mentioned they would get back soon as the dates for ACs are from Monday, but I haven't heard anything.
I have looked at my portal, and it says:

'ACTIVE JOB APPLICATIONS​


  • 2022 - Vacation Placement - England
    LONDON, LONDON, United Kingdom
    Status Invite to Assessment Centre
    Graduate and Apprenticeship 150 Applied on 12/03/2021'



    Do I email the grad team? The ACs are on WC 7th Feb and 14th Feb, and I need to give notice at my job if that is the case. Please advise- @Jessica Booker

    Hi all,

    Does anyone have any experience with BCLP's first stage interview with a member of the Graduate Recruitment team? Can't seem to find anything online and would highly appreciate some insight into the nature of the interview and the questions asked.
