Baker McKenzie is annoying now. At the open day back in SEPTEMBER they said applications would open in October (they didn't, they opened in November a month later) and that they'd be rolling. They've been completely silent since then, I haven't seen any WG invites, any AC invites, nothing.

I feel like most firms I have applied to have been very slow with their responses. Not sure if its a good or a bad thing
