Taylor Wessing PFO post AC
Absolutely gutted, was my favourite firm.

As others have mentioned I think it’s just something firms say, partly as a justification for the inevitable follow-up sentence ‘we are unable to provide feedback…’Why are we getting so many law firms saying they got unprecedented number of apps? Just off my head, I can remember that SH, Akin, Cooley, Dechert all said this. Are they being nice to not hurt applicants feeling, are some firms just getting more visibility or is the number of career seeker in the legal industry increasing in general? Genuine curiosity🧐
My assessment scoreMayer Brown PFO after all this time
Very sorry to hear that... I am sure your time will come. Chin up!Taylor Wessing PFO post AC

It's probably true! Everyone wants to be a lawyer these daysWhy are we getting so many law firms saying they got unprecedented number of apps? Just off my head, I can remember that SH, Akin, Cooley, Dechert all said this. Are they being nice to not hurt applicants feeling, are some firms just getting more visibility or is the number of career seeker in the legal industry increasing in general? Genuine curiosity🧐
omg i hope this is true! i haven't heard back from them yet so i was assuming a pfo at this point did they happen to give you an estimate of when they'd get back?I followed up with them and they said that it's taking longer than usual to get back to candidates but they'll be in touch soon.
yes all the firms say this. I wonder know when will SH get back.Why are we getting so many law firms saying they got unprecedented number of apps?

They sent a holding email earlier todayyes all the firms say this. I wonder know when will SH get back.
At the AC Ropes & Gray said they had 650 apps last cycle; 1100 this cycleWhy are we getting so many law firms saying they got unprecedented number of apps?

That's a crazy jump. But this seems to be not an abnormal amount for what firms receive. National firms rake in higher applications than this. Maybe people are just more ambitious with their applications with there no longer being a minimum requirement for a levels for a lot of firms.At the AC Ropes & Gray said they had 650 apps last cycle; 1100 this cycle
Likewise. Congrats.Oh wow Browne Jacobson telephone interview invite. Just come through
1100 is nothing for a US firm tbh from what I have seen from other firms.At the AC Ropes & Gray said they had 650 apps last cycle; 1100 this cycle
VS for me.everyone hearing from Browne Jacobson - is this for the summer scheme or direct tc?
Thank you so much to everyone who responded! : )Do recruitment teams change each year or do they remain with the same people for some period of time? I applied for something last year, but I completely underperformed in the final stage/my interview (it objectively was horrific on my part!) and I would like to reapply this year but I feel embarrassed to- because I’m worried that they’ll remember how bad I was.
It sounds egotistical to think they would remember me, but I really was such a mess that it was laughable. I’m just a bit worried about it : (
@Jessica Booker hi Jessica, i had a telephone interview yesterday and I don’t know if I’m overthinking but, at the end of the interview I was not asked if I had any questions. I was wondering if that’s probably a common thing to happen since phone interviews are short and should stick to the allotted time, or if I should have spoken up before the interviewer ended the call and asked questions either way
I heard last Friday for VSVS for me.
No one will be back until Tuesday 2 April at the earliest now.Hey guys I still haven’t heard back post-AC from White & Case. I wanna send them an email asking for an update but I’m not sure if they’re open tomorrow (or for half day) as it’s Good Friday. Do you think it’s worth sending an email tomorrow or should I wait after the Easter break?
