Has anybody heard from Paul Hastings or should I consider it to be unsuccessful? SO CONFUSING

Has anyone heard from WFW post AC?

We know that at least one person has heard back from PH, and that they don’t explicitly send out rejections. Unfortunately I’d take it as a PFO

 

[Kenomy]

Anyone applied to the DTC at CRS Cheltenham and has heard back?

I applied but haven't heard back

 

[Filia]

I applied but haven't heard back

Thank you. When did you apply?

 

[Deek14]

Sorry, this is an unrelated question but does anyone here knows how much does RPC pay to their paralegals?

PMC INTERVIEW 🤣 🤣

PMC INTERVIEW 🤣 🤣

Do you know the application process for it? I remember seeing somewhere that this year they will be skipping some of the stages but the email says first stage interview.

The process is interview then proper AC. This interview won't be final stage - firms wont hire you without doing a group exercise!

It'll be around 28-30k.

 

[InterestInPublicLaw]

It'll be around 28-30k.

That’s not high in London rate I thought RPC would pay higher 😲

No it is god awful.

 

[Deek14]

No it is god awful.

Yes it’s pretty awful. I am an immigrant so according to my visa I need to have a salary of £30,960. Will the firm be open to pay that if the role’s salary is around 30k?

I agree it’s pretty awful! I think your best bet is try and negotiate with the firm. I recently interviewed at Addleshaw and they were paying 30k for their paralegal role as well but I’m assuming if it’s a big international firm, they should probably agree to the increase (but might refuse on the grounds that other paralegals or entry level paralegals at their firm are being paid 30k so it wouldn’t be fair!)

I

I think Hogan Lovells has recruited enough people from its vacation schemes

I did not apply, but this would be my thinking. Last chance for anyone who did Hogan AC for direct TC to come forward. Otherwise I will apply for their WVS.
