a friend of mine was doing a VI and a bird flew into the window whilst she was talking, and she screamed. Needless to say, she didnt get it

if we haven't heard back from: Kirkland, White & Case, Freshfields, and Travers by this point are they likely rejections? it seems very late into the cycle and I reckon my application is sitting somewhere in a huge backlog of apps

Someone told me that they got that question in their video interview.

I may sound dumb but what has that got related to PWC and how will it the business.

hello pals, I know some people have heard back from Ashurst already (many congrats!), I was wondering whether there was anyone still waiting for the summer VS? I applied around 5 days before the deadline and it says my app is 'in inbox' so I'm not sure if anyone is in a similar position!

I thought this too!! I wonder if the other people applying for the types of internships for PwC i.e tax/consulting received a similar question

Oh my god don’t even, that question was sh*thousery at its finest

 

[Carys Holland]

Bit of a rogue question here: it's looking like I'll need to do another round of apps next cycle, since this year has been a bust. Only issue is that (covid-allowing) I'm due to be on the other side of the world from the middle of July for my year abroad. Will firms accommodate me when it comes to interviews and allow me to participate in ACs virtually, or would I be expected to come back to the UK to interview in person?

Hey, I obviously am no expert but I’ve met quite a few trainees at firms who were on years abroad when they got hired! Most firms in general I think are quite accommodating as they understand you may be on a year abroad or even live abroad, but obviously will differ on a firm to firm basis. I suggest maybe emailing the firms you’re most interested in now and explaining your situation, as then also you can be prepared next year in case they do need you to fly back/have a video call etc

Hope this helps! I’m no expert but I remember speaking to a trainee who was hired whilst she was on a gap year working on a boat haha

i'm still waiting and my app is still in inbox. I applied either a day before on the deadline.
