Had a pretty rough day yesterday and got two PFOs post application in the space of an hour. One was for the firm I actually work at, feeling pretty deflated as I walk into work this morning and have to put on a brave face😔😔does anyone know if there is a list anywhere of firms with deadlines still to close for Manchester or Liverpool please? I tried legal cheek but there was a few firms missing. Any help or general advice would be appreciated.

Are the inital tests for Mayer Brown (VRT AND SJT) automatic? I applied over a month ago and have been sent nothing. This is for direct TC. Would anyone suggets emailing GR team?

I am on the same boat. From what I gathered the tests are automatic, but they sent them out manually and they still havent finished recruiting for their summer vac scheme, hence the delay in sending them out.

I have just received it.
I also had been waiting a while.
Hopefully its good news for you both too.

Does everyone receive the tests?

Also any tips on completing the tests from anyone who’s previously done them?

Has anyone received an invite to the next stage from Bakers? Seems like they’re only sending out rejections rn.
