I emailed them for a follow up, no response yet

Does anyone know what's the post-app process for S&C? Is it directly an interview, as on some website it said there's a test.

Hi everyone! I received an invitation to complete the BM video interview today with a deadline of 27/05, but I’ve since received another email saying I’ve been granted extra time (even though I didn’t request any), and the deadline has now changed to 26/05. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this!

Same, i wasn't requesting for it. As for VS, I heard some ppl got a problem as well when they did the VI on the last day of first invite, as it said deadline was passed. So, better submit it on the earliest deadline, i guess. They notoriously bad at replying email, have you tried to contact them?

anyone has any experience applying later on the cycle for rolling firms? i genuinely think i would not produce better application for the specific firm earlier than now, however, i also know that they opened in october so i am very much freaked out

Hey for anyone applying to Fried Frank did the job opening close already? I was unable to find it just now
