omggg I just got the call from Linklaters, I passed the AC for the Singapore-London TC! Partner interviews with the Singapore office next, if anybody could give some tips for this interview (as I've never interviewed with Singapore firms before) I would greatly appreciate it!

So appreciative of TCLA's resources and support as this is the 2nd AC I've passed this cycle and I was really in a rut the past 2 years when I could never get past the final stages.

    Hey! Did anyone here attend the Future City Lawyers Intro to Private Equity Webinar and would be willing to share their notes or the slides? I was feeling really unwell and couldn't make it.

    If I've accepted a summer vac scheme with firm A already but have an interview tomorrow with firm B with summer vac scheme dates that clash with firm A (the end date for firm A clashes with the start date for firm B), shall I still attend the interview tomorrow or is there no point?

    if you panic during a VI, and happen to press stop recording without answering the first question but continue to answer the next 4, how likely is it you’ve been written off the AC list?

    …asking for a friend…

    😌
    It's hard to determine the likelihood of this- some may treat it more leniently while some may see it unfavourably. It's done now so the best thing to do is to process that you missed the first question and that this may negatively impact your application and try to move forward. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst- wishing you well!
