Baker McKenzie Summer VS offer

Oh my god!!!!! I got the baker svs!!! I can’t believe it, I simply can’t believe it!

Congrats to you both! It’s a really great scheme, enjoy!

They've obviously departed from that and added a written assessment onto the end. To be fair it was only a week or so ago that the WE came out but they've moved fairly quickly so far. I guess it takes a good while to read through a load of written assessment answers though.

can you please share how the VI is like? is it competency/motivational/situation based?? any tips on how to prepare?

what would count as one application window. If i applied to ashurst dtc now and didn't get through, could i apply to a vac scheme when it opens later in august? I'd think those are separate ?

Yea they did say 20th I don’t know if I should count not receiving an invite to the AC as a rejection

Hey guys! I have an AC coming up with Katten tomorrow. Just wondering whether anyone has had one in previous years and what it was like / what the video interview was like after. I can share insights for faegre interview, Sidley AC, SPB VI and more if anyone would be willing to help!
