Ah okay, I haven't heard back.

 

[A worried paralegal]

can anybody help me out with TC applications wrt to in-house or consulting firms in the UK? if anybody has a list, I would be grateful (for direct TC route)

Pwc tend to take on quite a few trainees.

In-house tend to vary a lot and only take on a few.

Banks , PE Shops and Large ''household names'' like Bupa are the likeliest shouts but will more than likely be grad apprenticeships or self-fund schemes

hi everyone! has anyone heard from Hogan Lovells? I did the WG but haven't heard ever since

Does anyone have any insight into Fieldfisher telephone interview? When they say technical questions what do they mean?

Hi everyone, @Jessica Booker , @Amma Usman , would appreciate some help with Mayer Brown! Is it necessary to tailor each work experience to the firm and/or highlight skills developed in the work experience section? considering that the word count is only 150. (same Q for the Additional Info/Extracurriculars section). At the same time, they don't have any additional questions on the app form so i suppose they'd like to see some kind of link with the firm besides just listing tasks and responsibilities. Thank you in advance!

Has anyone heard from Harbottle & Lewis, positive or not?

Baker McKenzie, Ashurst, and some other firms require I enter in a "letter grade" as well as a number. To anyone who went to a UK university, does this mean to enter in 1:1, 2:1, etc? or A, B, etc (if so, what scale should I be using to measure?)
