Has anyone heard back from bakers svs post app?
I know how frustrating it is getting a report instead of a call!Pinsent PFO post AC
Now i would like to say I'm surprised based off of my performance from the in tray exercise but i have just read my feedback (which was delivered on amberjack not via a human) and i actually am surprised. I met every single one of their capabilities they were looking for "natural talent, strong potential" and only got "showed some strengths" for attention to detail.
Maybe i'm delusional but i do think that is a little unfair and annoying to give feedback via a generic amberjack assessment report. I took the day off of work, travelled into central London to not get feedback from a human. i understand there are others so they can't get through everyone but even scheduling a call in the future regarding feedback or making it tailored via amberjack. I dunno.
I am not going to dwell as i knew my in tray did mess me up but maybe not that much? The firm not having my adjustments set in stone from the beginning did play a part but at least fieldfisher can give a telephone feedback after a TI.
The beginning of my cycle downfall starts here 😭
I sent them a chaser email today. Poor form from them since grad rec told me on the day that they'd get back to us in 2 weeks regardless of the outcome.Has anyone had post-AC Spring pfo for Milbank yet? Aware offers have gone out but not sure why PFO taking so long - just want to get some feedback at the very least
Honestly, I felt exactly the same after my HSF AC.I know how frustrating it is getting a report instead of a call!
And it’s the main reason why didn’t know where to improve exactly after my winter vac scheme AC with HSF - i talked with someone and they had the same exact report and everything seemed okay 🤦🏻♀️ Honestly, after going through what felt like a marathon of countless assessments for a firm, the least they could do is give me a hint about what I'm doing wrong in a conversation with someone, not the report that could’t be less helpful
Honestly, I completely agree with you and think that’s really poor from them.
When you’ve put in hours of research from the application stage to video interview prep to AC prep, let alone with the time/costs involved of travelling to London, I think giving you computerised Amberjack feedback is terrible. They’ve met you in person for a good few hours and have come to an informed decision, so you wouldn’t think it would be a great burden to give some genuine, helpful feedback.
Sorry about that, I think that’s really disappointing from PM.
I actually called them to ask for feedback and was told "everyone get's a computerised one. it's how our assessor mark you"I know how frustrating it is getting a report instead of a call!

LLB grad here, i'm currently on a year long internship but when that ends i'm gonna try get a paralegal role maybe at my same company but also worrying 😭 not sure how i feel about self funding sqe without a TCWhat's the contingency plan for people who have already graduated (and are currently doing the PGDL) and haven't secured the TC yet? I have no idea what I'll be doing after my PGDL. Tried my luck with the Civil Service but they received 60,000 apps. Is anyone in the same position?
Congratulations on the AC! May I ask when you completed the VI?I've just been invited to the Fladgate AC! This is my first cycle so it feels nice to have one in the diary and definitely takes the (slightly insane) pressure off a touch going forward.
I think we should definitely ask 😬Honestly I’m hoping they change their minds or something 😭 I think our AC is only with their vac scheme students so it might be slightly different. Do you think it’s worth asking grad rec?
Find a job?What's the contingency plan for people who have already graduated (and are currently doing the PGDL) and haven't secured the TC yet? I have no idea what I'll be doing after my PGDL. Tried my luck with the Civil Service but they received 60,000 apps. Is anyone in the same position?
Thanks! I submitted it on Friday (the 9th).Congratulations on the AC! May I ask when you completed the VI?
