Hi, I have an upcoming video interview with Simmons & Simmons and a face to face interview with Pinsent Masons - any help would be very much appreciated :)

Rejection from Latham on Friday evening for the winter vacation scheme. A bit gutted given my interest in Private Equity and especially after my Weil vac scheme I was quietly optimistic but guess that's the way it goes... onto the next one!
Daniel I am so sorry to hear this. You are a great candidate and you only need that one. Are you going for Kirkland? Thinking of PE I guess.

As I always tell every fellow applicant I meet, the right firm is waiting for you. Just remember you're a great candidate, you got Weil last round!

Just did my VI for Simmons and Squire, not sure how it went. Hesitated a bit in some of the answers and think my answers could've been a bit more structured, but fingers crossed one of them will be a positive result. If anyone needs to do those interviews, feel free to PM me

Well done! It sounds like you did well and the hard bit is actually formulating the answers in the first place. You’ll probably always come away from VIs thinking of things you could’ve said but doing your best is what matters most :)
