    Fieldfisher holding email. Am quite confused. Have we been put into the second batch due to timing of application, or because of quality of application? Additionally, given that the firm confirmed and highlighted that its non-rolling, its all a bit confusing

    The post seems to refer to applications and offers made for senior positions (not early careers) The person who posted it isn't under Weightman's early careers team and she posts extensively about openings for PQ roles
