should we email them to ask an update?

I'm waiting until Thursday to email as they said late feb- early march so I have the feeling we might start to hear back this week

Can't believe i'm saying this, but I sent a cold email out of boredom to the CEO of a US law firm, with my CV attached as if he'd answer. He responded and I now have an interview tomorrow with a partner located in New York; feels surreal but hoping that leads somewhere

Oh wow, how cool!

Fortune definitely favours the brave. I’ve found that partners are often very happy to give up their time to mentor people if they approach them in the correct way.

This is so cool, though. Let us know how you get one!

I think I will email them this week. Out of curiosity, which scheme and location did you apply for?

They rejected my Spring app in Feb (which was late, they originally said it would be in January) and apologised for the delay, so I guess they would take their time

Have you booked the feedback call? I have - I think I know where I went wrong, but I want to find out if they noticed the things that I thought were bad, or if it's something different entirely.

I have booked feedback calls for TLT & Walker Morris. You can message me and we can discuss where we might have gone wrong, as I know we have to wait some time to get the feedback
