I just wondered if i could ask what office this was for?
Thanks- I have applied for manchester so maybe that's why I haven't heard anything!
good luck!!
Same here. Struggling to find the will to keep going.
Clyde & Co rejection post-app!
Good luck to anyone still in the process
If anyone is wondering, I applied a day before the deadli
Same here. Trying to find the will to continue.
Two apps... and one more next month which'll bump it up to three. I know people do way more, but I'm struggling to stay afloat with my studies right now so I'm focusing on exams instead.
I am doing a Dechert application and their last question is "If applicable please state any additional information which you think is relevant to your application or which you think has not been covered adequately in this form". What do they expect to see in this section and is it ok to leave it blank?
Thanks! And it was today & post-app, not surprised at the outcome as I applied on deadline day, but just slightly confused about the 'commencing TC in 2023' thing as I would be eligible (surely my final year status would suggest that?)
Can confirm I haven't! And submitted yesterday. Did you get it straight after?
Not risky at all, just ensure there are adequate facts and statistics to support your response!Hi! For the application question, “what is one thing you would change about our firm and why”, is it risky to mention wanting to see an improvement in diversity and inclusion? I wanted to begin the answer by acknowledging what the firm has started doing, but that their statistics indicate that they really have a long way to go. Furthermore I would mention the benefits of the firm incorporating more D+I. However, I’m not sure if I should instead focus on a more purely “commercial answer” (e.g. expansion to different countries etc).
Thank you
During cycle I sent out 12 or 13 I think. Returned 3 ACs and 2 VS offers.
I sent my application off the other day and in this section I just put points that I had to delete from the first question (why Dechert) due to word count. I don't think it is necessary to fill this question in however and do think it is personal choice!
No, I submitted my application today but the confirmation email doesn’t say anything about an online test. Also based on earlier responses it’s seems like there isn’t a set time between when you receive the online test (one response said a day after, another said three weeks). Not sure if this means that the online test is an additional stage of the application as opposed to being part of the initial written application stage.
Hi guys, for the Reed Smith application the question that asks what are your main activities and interests outside study/work-life is it okay to include the career societies that I am a part of at University. Especially if they are finance/law related. Or are they looking for interests like music/sport etc. Thanks!
I’d say both - this first screening stage uses very limited number of questions so I’d use any chance to stand out
Speaking of Reed Smith, how long did people have to wait after submitting their application before getting asked to do the test?
