Baker McKenzie Direct TC PFO.
Sorry to hear that mate, something else is around the corner for you
When did you apply mate?
Don’t worry! Everyone will eventually get a TC offer from their dream firm, it’s great how you are resilient. Your time will come if you just stick at it
There is so many other firms who recruit largely from direct TC apps, which have opened or about to open!
yeah same. obsessively checking my emails every 5 secs
I got a PFO 3 days ago and I think some other people have been rejected. On the other hand, I haven't actually heard of anyone being offered an interview.
Might be a good thing that you haven't heard back yet!
I just got the rejection. :'))
Yh I know but it is annoying because my application was really strong so I don't know what it was.Don’t worry! Everyone will eventually get a TC offer from their dream firm, it’s great how you are resilient. Your time will come if you just stick at it

Oh I see! Yeah I’m not sure then.. all I can say is best of luck for your future applications
If you know someone in Bakers (as you mentioned you had your application read by couple trainees), maybe they can get you feedback from the GR team on what went wrong with your application. That’s just food for thought.
Yh we move on and you are right I will try to see to get feedback.Oh I see! Yeah I’m not sure then.. all I can say is best of luck for your future applications

Hi guys, I am working on direct tc apps rn and just wondering if I should apply for White & Case? Am not too sure if this cycle WC may take only VS candidates?
They said they take 10-15% from direct TC.
I’m so sorry to hear. Did you just hear back now?
Also, when did you apply if you don’t mind me asking ??
Sorry to hear that I know how you feel. Also has anyone even heard positively from BM.
