Hey everyone, I remember seeing a link to a document that specified which firm include the WG in their application process but I can't seem to remember where. Please could someone direct me to it?
I’m not sure which document you are referring to specifically, but I came across this one from a TCLA thread a while ago: 😀

Has anyone got any good tips or know of any techniques to get better at Cappfinnity assessments, I always do terrible and feel like the reflections I get on my strengths/weaknesses aren't accurate at all. I have another SJT coming up and would appreciate any advice or websites to look at.

    I'm applying for a paralegal role and the application asks for a salary expectation.

    I've got an LLM in the relevant area of law (undergrad is BSc) and it'd be my first full-time job (no prior legal experience but its not necessary for the role). It's a national commercial firm, one of the top for the relevant practice area, and its in one of their southern regional offices.

    What should my salary expectation be? I have no idea what is reasonable

    This will be my final time asking but did anyone ever hear anything from Penningtons/PMC DTC? I assume I have been rejected as it is now the end of June but equally haven't seen anything posted on this forum nor have I heard from the firm.
    I received an email on 23/05 saying they expect to provide an update on outcomes by the end of July!

    So don't stress yet, apparently they usually take a while.

    (Email was from @talent.icims.eu if you wanted to check your spam folder for it)

    Can anyone that has previous experience with Dorsey or specific knowledge of the firm DM me please? I’d really appreciate it and can offer advice about SH and Hogan Lovells (reached AC before with both). It’s literally impossible to research the firm due to its size in London and very limited info online (trying to make the most of their website)

    Sorry I dont have any previous experience with the firm but just wondering if you received a first-stage interview invite?
