I cannot believe that I'm writing this, but I got an offer for the VS at MB!!!!!!!!!! It's my first vac scheme ever and it's for my dream firm! Since finishing the LPC, I've been in this awkward purgatory... but 3 cycles later, I've got it! Shocked is an understatement right now 🥺😅- AW_08

The interview did go well, but now I'm stuck overthinking every single answer I gave and how I acted! I'm trying to forget about it as, like you said, there is nothing more that I can do: I did my best and that's all I could have done. Thank you so much for your support as always! I'm just...- AW_08

I had my MB AC yesterday morning and I got a call yesterday evening saying I made it to the final partner interview next week! Such a quick turn around! 🥰😻 Any advice/tips for it would be very welcome as I've never gotten this far in the process before and it's my dream firm so the pressure is on!- AW_08

I was contemplating emailing them because not to get a third holding email is ridiculous! Nothing shows up on my portal either. But like you said, I don't really want to annoy them especially as they are so busy. The FOMO is just so real right now lol - I will just eat my feelings in chocolate...- AW_08

I'm in the same position as you! I've not received a single holding email, and when I emailed earlier this week, I also got the same response! Let me know when you get a response or anything!- AW_08

Mayer Brown AC invite!!!!!!!! It's my first one ever, but this is THE firm I really want so any advice will be so so welcome! They've split the AC into two stages, so you've got to be successful in round 1 to be invited for the round 2 interview!- AW_08
