Fieldfisher pfo. I was sure it was my best application. Off to get employed by Taco Bell I think. I don’t know what else I can do
I am so sorry to hear. May I ask if you applied to 2024 TC? I am waiting to hear from them and honestly, it's my last hope for this cycle, so if they do PFO me I'm afraid I'll be meeting you soon in Taco Bell 😭

    I got a VS offer via phone call on Friday but haven’t had an email confirming the offer yet- is this normal? How long should I expect to wait until I receive the confirmation email?
    I waited 2-3 days to get my written offer from CMS, think it’ll depend on the firm
