Hey, slightly late to the game, but would anyone mind providing insight on the White & Case TC app? I suppose I submit the written app, then are there any immediate tests to complete afterwards and what are these like in nature? Thank you for any insight
CRS DTC PFO following app stage. Kinda expected that since some people have already done VIs 
It's really irritating - I did the AC last year and they didn't let me know until the Thursday evening - 6 days before the assessment day. Awful communication, lovely firm
There is an online assessment, they sent a link to the test straight after confirmation of submission.
Anyone heard anything from Baker DTC?
Anyone heard anything from SH DTC? Either a PFO or SJT and VI? I sent my app 11/03.
I've not heard anything yet.
Nope, nothing yet. I applied in mid December
Nothing from SH or HL. HL is surprising because applications closed a month ago
Hoping for some advice - I applied for a forensic non-law grad job and did the job sim on Sunday. I have just received an email saying that further positions in the same team (but a different role) have come up and they're asking if I would prefer to continue with my original choice or instead transfer my app to the other role....I honestly have no preference as they're both forensic related but idk if I would then have a better chance with the other role?
Very confused so would appreciate any opinions (apologies for the long message)

Assuming both would start progressing DTC following VS offers but unsure if people have received offers yet
Hey!
I personally wouldn't read it as one role necessarily being easier to get than the other - it is more likely that they either have additional vacancies, or think that your profile could suit both. In terms of whether you would have a better chance by switching, it is quite difficult to know without any additional information / context. Unless they have explicitly indicated a preference for which role they'd like you to apply for, there is no guarantee that moving to the new role would improve your odds. Because of that, I would focus less on strategy and more on which role you would actually be happier doing day-to-day, even if the difference between the two feels quite small.
If you are completely neutral, it is still worth taking a look at both job descriptions to see if one stands out even slightly - for example, in terms of the type of work you would be doing, the exposure you would get, or the progression opportunities in the future. You could also reply and ask for a bit more information about how the roles differ before you make a decision, as I'd say this is a completely reasonable request.
If after all that you still don't have a preference, sticking with your original application is absolutely fine. Alternatively, if they perhaps suggest that the new role might be a better fit, it might be worth following that advice.
Overall, I don't think there is an obvious right or wrong choice here (as frustrating as I'm sure that might be!), so I'd try not to overthink it too much. If you really can't decide, I'd just go with your gut instinct
Thank you!Hey!
