Can't speak for Bread, but part of it is that you come off as combative and condescending towards someone that already completed their TC years ago lol

I've also been sent the invite! It's delivered by a platform called 'Saville Assessment Oasys' and if you go on their website they do have a couple of practice questions- not many but it gives you a feel for them
@Jessica Booker
Hi hope you’re well, is 4 weeks post AC with no outcome excessive?
Normally I don’t think about it and get on with other things but I’ve had another VS offer which would clash with this firms VS dates if I were to be successful.
I have called and emailed and the firm has ignored every form of communication. I had a deadline of acceptance for the other firm any they were unable to accommodate an extension as other applicants were waiting to hear back.
(They’re known to give rejections if you chase for an update)
The firm stated if we had another offer to make them aware but they’ve ghosted me. 👻😂

SVS offer for AG really happy 😊
This was the first thing I noticed as well, being mad rude and condescending for no reason.
NRF AC! This is my first and only AC in this cycle, any tips highly highly welcomed, from literally anyone. Especially on the negotiation task.
does SH on their application form ask whether we want to apply for the spring or summer scheme. Had a brief look at the form and don’t think they ask?
Are we talking superbowl kendrick level here?

They give 3 options and you could just tick all 3
I often help people here and by DM. I simply don't understand why it is any different to not disclosing specific questions whilst processes are undoing which is what is asked if us. I wasn't being combatative merely explaining there were reasons why this IS being asked by firms at interview and gave an example but without giving a fuller answer which isn't fair on people who have already had those interview.
Please feel free to expand more fully as can those others who disagree with my approach.
Most likely since I’m too indecisive this is what I will end up doing. 🥲
I did this for White & Case, Ropes & Gray and Paul, Weiss. 🥲

I'm just like "Just give me one I don't care when"🤣🤣
Have you heard back from ropes yet? I haven't.. same with paul weiss
the search by thread function works well:

I would prefer to do spring but I am being a bit hopeful about the shoosmiths spring vac scheme (discover placement) (Going to be heartbroken if it’s a rejection post final stage😭) as the dates clash with SH spring scheme.
?
I simply wouldn't expand more fully on my answer whilst processes are ongoing but gave another example than the one they suggested.
Calling someone mad rude and condescending because they explain why an interview question is a valid one is possibly the more rude response.
If you look at my past posting you will see I have been helpful and also have helped a number of people who DM. Fortunately now I will knkw there are some I should decline from helping.
Big big congratulations!! When did you manage to complete the VI btw

I haven’t heard back from either yet. I have seen people with PFO from Paul, Weiss so just anxiously waiting for mine. 🥲🥲
As for Ropes & Gray, based on last year's forum, they didn’t get back to people until a week before the first AC date. I doubt we will hear back until at least Wed 26th February tbh.
