didn’t think my VI question would lead to such unnecessary comments but wishing everyone the best this app cycle
appreciate those that backed it and noticed. Last thing anyone needs is more negativity
it was much chiller than i anticipated! written exercise i found a bit difficult but my interviewers were both so lovely, the partner interview in particular was super conversational. wasn’t asked any out of the blue/super difficult questions eithercongrats! do you mind sharing how u found it?
38!!! My opinion may be of little value to you but honestly I would try spend far more time on each individual application. I have applied to 10 so far. Currently at 1SVS and 1 PFO, waiting on 8. I know everyone works differently but I’ve found spending longer on each application and prioritising quality over quantity is best way forward.Chill. I got 12 PFOs and 5 Holding emails so far, will be applied to 38 firms by end of this month if there is no AC yet.
congrats!! can i ask how long it took for you to get the AC invite after doing the watson glaser?cleary assessment daywould really really appreciate any insight & help!!!!
this was me for reed smith omg, i dont think its that big of a deal?might be a stupid question but for VI’s with seriously loaded questions, does lack of eye contact shoot you in the foot? ie i had to look at the question constantly to ensure i wasnt missing anything or waffling, and am unsure whether thats something that would classify as lack of engagement
@gmcaolaw you can mention it if you choose to, however the general consensus is to avoid highlighting any personal details so as to avoid any unconscious bias - or a risk of it at the very least. Yet, this is for your benefit and not theirs - so if you'd like to mention it, then go aheadIf a firm says they are CV-blind, at interview can I not mention my university eg I am part of a society and it slips out?
I agree Jessica!! lets adopt a "See it, ignore it, report it" strategyI think everyone needs a break. And just a reminder - assume the best of intentions from people. If something is clearly rude, ignore and report. I understand everyone is stressed but no more fighting/arguing/whatever or you'll all go in the get along shirt.

did you end up making it through to the next stage if I may ask? cause im so worried itll appear as me reading off of something rather than sanity-checking whether im rambling about the correct topic. lmao I hope this one is not a RIP cause I feel the overall answers were otherwise good.this was me for reed smith omg, i dont think its that big of a deal?
no unfortunately didnt progress through but i dont think looking every so often is a bad thingdid you end up making it through to the next stage if I may ask? cause im so worried itll appear as me reading off of something rather than sanity-checking whether im rambling about the correct topic. lmao I hope this one is not a RIP cause I feel the overall answers were otherwise good.

Linklaters spring - post WG/ Capp got excellence and working with others as strengths and got resource and work management as weakeness.
