PFO from Taylor Vinters post AC

on the email they said they are unable to provide individual feedback? I thought this was a bit strange as I would like to know how I could improve for the future, and all previous ACs have given me feedback?

 

[G P]

I've had this experience, and honestly I jut kept reminding myself that the very fact they're willing to discuss with me meant they want me to do well and to succeed. Please don't take anything they say personally/to heart! But make a note of what they say your setbacks were, then ask for advice on how to improve on this for future interviews.

It's all a learning experience! Hope this helps

Thank you

Jones Day PFO - thought it went really well

 

[HAT097]

Still no word from Travers - assume that is going to be a PFO

Taylor Vinters Vac scheme waiting list :/ not entirely sure if that's good or bad news, haha

Congratulations! Which office did you apply to?

Thank you! For the Leeds office

 

[stayawakewaitforme]

Huge congrats, me too! can I ask - did yours say for the training contract or the summer placement? Because mine said for the training contract but I applied for the summer placement so just wondering if its just how they format the email

Hi,
It said for the TC too. But then the follow up email from GR kind of covered the fact it is for the placement - wouldn't you agree?

Dechert VI invite! I'm going to have to withdraw my application because I've signed VS offers for all of summer but just wanted to update those who are waiting on Dechert, they gave time until the 31st of March too so enough time to prep!

Hey, just saw this - I had precisely the same experience. Was a bit gutted as I was really excited, having heard good things about the firm! Didn't ask about extra-curriculars or anything.

highly recommend getting your feedback from grad rec – their reasons for rejecting me were about fit but I openly told them about how i found the interviewers standoffish and uninterested and she was appreciative to hear feedback on the interview experience from my side

 

[tps209]

Has anyone heard from Mayer Brown post AC?

 

[LeilaScott]

If I havent heard from Dechert post App by now should I assume its a no? Don't want to get my hopes up if all spots are filled

 

[OB]

Do we think today is D-Day for WBD??

Same and honestly allow it. For a first AC I'm proud of that

 

[OB]

Just logged in to check my WBD application and when I clicked on my application summary it said "the below sections have been reviewed". Has it always said that? Now I feel ridiculously nervous.

Mine has said that since the day after I submitted

 

[j597]

has anyone heard anything post-AC for DWF?

 

[TLS_]

has anyone heard anything post-AC for DWF?

I think the Scotland offices heard back earlier this week, but I have not heard anything from MCR yet

 

[InNeedofaTC]

Do we think today is D-Day for WBD??

Either today or by Wednesday for sure since that’s the 31st
