After a call with a firm, how important is it to send an email thanking them for their time? @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker :)
It is not expected but I personally always did it. However, I know many people who never did it and got offers too so it definitely depends on what you want to do but it is not a requirement.

    Hi I was just wondering if you had any tips or advice after taking it?
    Hello, I would say to do as much research as you can and really go through their website. As long as you know why you applied with them, recognize your skills as well as past experiences and have researched commercial awareness topics and know how to apply it to them you'll do amazing😊.

    freshfields pfo post-app. i feel like they’re either not transparent enough in the type of candidates they prefer or smth is seriously wrong with my apps because i’ve applied so many times and still have never received the WG from them.

    but at the same time i have had interviews with top US firms so i don’t really understand how i am not eligible even for a WG. have competed in disputes competitions too and was quite tailored in my cover letter
