Guys, if I close my reed smith assessment before VI (it says I can take a break but I want to do it tomorrow), will it automatically submit? I don’t want my camera to be recording all night until tomorrow

Thanks! If some users did not do it all in one sitting, I’d appreciate the help 😊

Hey everyone, I remember seeing a link to a document that specified which firm include the WG in their application process but I can't seem to remember where. Please could someone direct me to it?

I’m not sure which document you are referring to specifically, but I came across this one from a TCLA thread a while ago: 😀

Firms that do not require the WG

Hello everyone! I was wondering if some of you knew of firms that do not require the Waston Glaser test - I had a trainee mention this but didn't give me an example of firms. Thank you!

Hi guys, I’ve had an email from Beale and co HR saying i will be sent a link to a questionnaire and should’ve received it by now but I haven’t gotten it (checked my junk folder as well)

Can anyone confirm if they’ve received it?

Many thanks

Has anyone got any good tips or know of any techniques to get better at Cappfinnity assessments, I always do terrible and feel like the reflections I get on my strengths/weaknesses aren't accurate at all. I have another SJT coming up and would appreciate any advice or websites to look at.

Has anyone heard back from Perkins Coie direct LBA application?

 

[EG3]

I'm applying for a paralegal role and the application asks for a salary expectation.

I've got an LLM in the relevant area of law (undergrad is BSc) and it'd be my first full-time job (no prior legal experience but its not necessary for the role). It's a national commercial firm, one of the top for the relevant practice area, and its in one of their southern regional offices.

What should my salary expectation be? I have no idea what is reasonable
