I haven’t even got the assessment yet

Oh right okay they might send them out in batches then

Anyone else still waiting for their post-AC feedback from Baker McKenzie?

Hey, I’m assuming you did a BM VI before the AC? if so, can you give me some insight on it. Anything would be appreciated. I have it for the TC app.

I think the assessment is selective, so not everyone will get it!

Oh that's right I forgot! They probably have sent them all out by now then....

Heyyy so sorry to hear this! Would you mind sharing the feedback? Like what kind of things were they looking for in candidates? Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I've not received the feedback yet. My comment was reference to the fact that they offered it in the PFO email. Hopefully I will hear back soon.

Hi all, just looking for some advice.
I have been offered a vacation scheme with a firm and they have given me the choice of two alternative weeks. I can only do the first week as the second week I am attending a scheme with a different firm.
They have asked me to provide an explanation as to why I am unavailable for that second week - Is it okay to state I am attending a scheme at another firm?
@Jessica Booker I would appreciate your advice on this
Thank you!

Yes, it’s better to be honest about these things. Firms are used to their vacation scheme students doing multiple schemes. The only thing is they may ask why you can’t miss the equivalent week of the programme with the other firm rather than missing theirs.

Congrats! I’m in the same boat as you. I received a verbal offer today. Have you gotten an email yet ?
