If Asil had said this response in person, would you have started an argument with him?

what an odd question.

Akin test invite. Turns out it’s a SJT and not WG!

Ooh drama on the forum again 🍿

(In all seriousness though, let's be nice to each other guys - application season is tough enough as it is)

Agree responses could be nicer and polite

Mean this the nicest way possible it is none of your business and for your information Ashurst I submitted over 2 months ago and did their case study today.

You could’ve just said you’d rather not share or ignored it all together.
Clearly they hit a soft spot…

It seems like a mix of the two. Good luck!

Hi, do you mind me asking if this was for the spring scheme or summer?

hey, this is for the spring one

 

[rainemid]

I saw someone post a couple of weeks ago that it’s technically not but they pretty much invite everyone unless you didn’t answer the q. Not sure how they know that though…
Nevertheless, congrats if you’ve been invited!

thank u so much!

Anyone else find a&o feedback report like a negative report like criticising your every competency

Hey! I just received the test. Email does not mention VI being included in the test. Should we assume its only sjt+ critical thinking then? Thanks and good luck!

Yep! My feedback was just them telling me how bad I was at everything, done the exact same test for pinsent masons and was met with great feedback.

i‘ve already put A&O on my PFO list so it feels like I’m rejecting them first 😂

The Macfarlanes SJT could also be seen like this, a lot of the tests just give generic cautions for every competency.

Good mindset love it and same here with Simmons like my Simmons feedback was better than that

Yh guess you are right but its the 1st sjt test which had nothing positive

Anyone heard from Weil re Summer VS on any steps beyond the initial online app?

 

[islasorna]

dla pfo post vi

Really sorry to hear that. Can I ask how long ago did you do the VI?

 

[Abbas J]

Can anyone provide an insight into the Latham VI for 2024 vacation scheme? I don't know what sort of questions to be expecting (commercial, competency or firm-related questions).

Also do Dechert recruit on a rolling basis!

Congrats everyone on your journey so far, as long as it is, we got this Fr.

I attended the WeilPride event on the 31st of October and the grad recruitment team said they only started reviewing the applications then as they have been busy
