Me working full time from 9 to 7 with several deadlines for 4 tests, 2 VI and 3 applications to submit before 16th. And getting ready for the graduation next week. I feel ya😭.I am deceased, did Bates Wells Watson Glaser, then W&C app, SJT and WG this weekend and I work full time #rip me. Sending strength to everyone, January is giving death so far. Make sure you're all looking after yourselves xxxxxx
A really dumb question, I would like to know if people have progressed to next stages when they did video interview at night (with lights on). For some reasons I always think that it's unprofessional to do video interviews without natural day light, but I don't have any time when the natural day light is there
Oh Donna this is very relatable. 💔
Yes! I progressed with 3 VI's which I did in the evening (you could see my curtains drawn in the background)A really dumb question, I would like to know if people have progressed to next stages when they did video interview at night (with lights on).

That’s where I’m at too. I figured that if I only get rejections next week then I’ll write more applications but if I get progressions then I’ll focus on them and maybe do DTC apps when I have more energy.Oh Donna this is very relatable. 💔
I’ve been brushing up on my firm research today and I’ve hit a wall… I honestly think if I hear back from anyone this week with good news. I may put the gloves down for everyone else, and just focus on them.
You got this Harvey!!Honestly same here I feel like I’m hitting a wall rn esp cos I’ve heard back from most firms.
Like rn I’m trying to do my Travers app alongside prepping for Akin TI and Gibson Dunn VI.
My brain is refusing to cooperate and I’m lowkey losing motivation to carry on with apps ngl.
I have Covington, Ropes, Orrick and Winston left to do but I’m in two minds so we’ll see haha.
Hopefully we can all get through this experience together and make it to the other end (TC offers)!

Ahh I haven't heard back from the majority of mine - didn't realise most of them are non-rolling hahahaHonestly same here I feel like I’m hitting a wall rn esp cos I’ve heard back from most firms.

Honestly I think it's almost impossible to prep for curveballs, a firm could ask literally anything - but as long as you have a good baseline (which you do!) you'll be able to make something up on the spot.You got this Harvey!!
Also, a question for you and others: how are people prepping for VIs?
Because I honestly do not have time for curveballs, so I have mostly been thinking of competency scenarios, why this firm, why law, challenges and opportunities for clients/firms, a deal the firm has done, and why me.
But I’m not sure if there’s anything I’m missing or obvious curveballs which I could prepare for.

Side note: does anyone know if Winston’s vac schemes are affected by their merger with TW?Honestly same here I feel like I’m hitting a wall rn esp cos I’ve heard back from most firms.

Good job a Partner never asked my go to Nando's meal 😂Honestly I think it's almost impossible to prep for curveballs, a firm could ask literally anything - but as long as you have a good baseline (which you do!) you'll be able to make something up on the spot.
Sidenote: I had a dream a partner asked me, 'if you were a type of food, which one would you be' and I said steak
My reasoning was 'if a client wants me to be tough, I'll be well-done, and if a client wants me to be tender, consider me bleu' 😭😭😭😭 okay girl xxx
Me looking into the camera, curtains closed, sat directly under the lightbulb with a box visible on top of my wardrobe in the background.then theres me who did all my VIs with my main light switched on and a salt lamp in the background
