I think so cause a bunch of people got VI’s like 2 days ago. I did my VI on the 13th and beards back on the 27th so I think you’re in the next batch
I’m sorry to hear that!
Some advice I got from White & Case AC when I spoke to the associate and grad recruitment regarding team players was that in their opinion, it’s not about having the most contributions or asking questions. This may just be relevant to W&C but when we talking, they said that it’s actually the quieter people they tend to value more because, even though they aren’t saying much, when it finally comes round to their time to speak: the quieter person has usually come up with the best solution because they listened to everyone’s ideas and created a compromise that benefits everyone.
Again, it depends on the firm. But I’d just say there’s not a standard way to be a team player so maybe adapt your approach for different firms. E.g White & Case is pretty chill and sociable so perhaps you can focus more on listening to everyone. Whereas, Clifford Chance is pretty cut throat and competitive (not a bad thing btw) so in a firm like that you should on your feet with creative solutions and make your voice heard.
Good luck with your next AC.
Travers PFO - 6pm on a Friday is cruel!
Travers Smith rejection am not surprised saw this coming 2 months ago.
I’ve just got Travers PFO post- app too 😫
People that have Ropes & Gray AC offers, did you receive a report from the Thrive assessment? I have not received anything but I thought that we were meant to receive a strengths/weaknesses report.
Travers PFO but I expected this because I rushed my application literally last minute(at 11:30pm, deadline day) and used different fonts on the application so I knew it was doomed.
Lol. Spoke too soon!
W&C AC invite. WOW can't believe it. They are my dream firm. Love you all so much
W&C PFO
Congratulations!! ⭐Lol. Spoke too soon!
W&C AC invite. WOW can't believe it. They are my dream firm. Love you all so much
Hoping that now W&C are sending out more AC offers they can reply to those of us that have been waiting post AC 😓
Am I the only one who got the VI invite on the 14th and still haven't heard back from WC...? Come on now....
Travers PFO. It hurts I really like them but onwards and upwards
Is it a bad sign that a partner responded to an email you sent to them thanking them for their time?
