    HSF Spring AC, just in case anyone is still waiting for outcomes. (also guys for the love of god please stop messaging me about the Mayer Brown tests. I've received eight messages in the past week alone. You don't need any special insight, you'll be fine)

    Just a little vent, but how do you all deal with useless feedback from grad rec at firms? I had an AC recently that came to nothing, but the feedback call I had was almost frustrating in its uselessness. The woman I spoke to told me the drafting exercise was "unique to [the firm]" so couldn't...

    Did everyone's non-PFO PFO from BDB Pitmans include the "As we were impressed with your application and video interview..." line/bits about the alternative events? Just trying to gauge if it was a generic platitude to soften the blow of having spent lots of time and effort for nothing or genuine.

    That's amazing, congrats!! I love reading posts like this because I'm definitely in the "lol give up it's not for you" stage of the application cycle so hearing your perseverance paid off is so inspiring.

    Probably not what you want to hear, but I think Mayer Brown just ghost if they’re not going to progress your application.

    I hunted around online but couldn't find an answer to this question either. It appears to be unlimited but I set a self-imposed limit to make sure I wasn't writing just for the sake of writing.

    Honestly really admire those of you with the mental fortitude to check if anyone on LinkedIn has offers. This forum makes me insane enough most of the time.

    I always struggle with this, too. I'm also keen to get into a pretty niche area of the law but thought the general advice was to avoid talking about it if the firm don't offer training in that area and/or don't regard it as a growth area. I always think my interest is something that sets me...

    I have a connection at a silver circle who reviewed my application for their winter vac scheme and said it looked really strong/helped with "improvements" but I still got a post-app PFO so take from that what you will!
