Hey I was wondering if your first choice was summer or spring?

hey!! make sure ure good w ur competencies, what skills you can bring to your role and think about the main selling points of W&C and why it appeals to you

 

[aspiringfuturetrainee2025]

How long does W&C take to respond to you after the VI.

If anyone has ever completed a TLT AC any tips ? It says only a group exercise and a strengths based interview but looking at 2022 it looks like there was a presentation? Any insight I appreciate 🥹

Congrats! Could I ask when and where you applied for? I haven't heard back post-app and the process isn't clear on the website

From what I’ve seen they did a set of ACs at the end of Jan so they might do a set by the end of Feb. I doubt there will be another set of VIs as people have started receiving rejections now.

Got WBD assessment! For the video interview, do we have unlimited prep time? Does anyone have any insights?

Hey, have you done the video interview for WBD? If so, how long is the answering/ prep time? Thank you!

Wouldn’t give up! W&C can be very random, last year I applied in November with spring as my first choice, and got a VI in late Feb, some people that applied after me heard back before

 

[tcplease2345]

any word form Reed Smith?

 

[FKJJ]

Is anyone still waiting for Goodwin Procter?

Thank you ! It was actually the one regional office I applied for, so its the Manchester office. I received the email yesterday and its next week. If yours was the London office I wouldn't worry as I haven't seen anyone post about that yet

Hey @Jessica Booker, is the question of why should we offer you a place the same as why do you want to work at this firm? Or are they looking for different things?

 

[jesslawapps]

What office you applied?

Manchester

My Mishcon VI might have been the worst interview I've ever done lmao - I had prepped for 90 seconds instead of 60 (must have written it down wrong) and so couldn't finish my points for a single q. I think my points were good and I had an answer and understanding for every q but it was so rushed and I fumbled all my words... onwards and upwards IG

 

[tcplease2345]

any word form Reed Smith?

so what are the chances of a positive response or, should we be prepared?

 

[wannabesheridansmith]

Can't believe this one, but Addleshaw Goddard VS offer!
(Glasgow/Edinburgh - Spring/Summer)

Guess it shows that even the worst interviews with the worst case study performances can also have a chance 🥳
