Ohhh so you can't specifically see who, just "lawyer at ..." or "recruiter at ..."

You can if you buy premium and the person profile is public (more like Tinder or dating apps isn't? PPV to see your crush who swiped right

Has anyone seen the Roll On Friday Firms Most List For this year? Thoughts?

Having heard nothing from KE after AC, is it worth giving up hope? 3 weeks now.

The US firms came in swinging, and the MC aren’t beating those allegations anytime soon.

My favourite firms were quite high up, but I didn’t like how high one firm I have a personal vendetta with was…

Do you think it’s easier to get a paralegal job if you self fund the pgdl? I’m an admin in an investment firm but idk whether that’s giving me the right skill set LOL

Idk tbh cos Morgan Lewis’ grad rec team were all stalking my LinkedIn and I’m sat here like a melon waiting for my TI like what’s the hold up lads??!!

Me with AG and I still haven't heard back post critical thinking

Fieldfisher update - We can now confirm that Phase One is complete. However, due to the exceptionally high volume of strong applications, this now means that all of our Training Contract and Summer Scheme places have now been filled.

What a joke. You could’ve just closed the apps when you thought you reached the max number of applications which would be sufficient to pick candidates from. Why mention you’re non rolling on your tc page then??? Complete waste of time.

If you are in a case-study interview and you think the client should not go ahead with said M&A deal, should you still outline potential solutions before then coming back to your argument?

fieldfisher pfo and yh echo above points they said they would consider us for phase 2 but instead didn’t bother and just took from phase 1 that is a shame when the form to apply with was so complicated

This makes it all better though

We understand that this is not the outcome you were hoping for but we truly value your interest in the firm and are very grateful for the time and effort you put into your application. We’re hosting a virtual employability workshop specifically for candidates who were not successful in this recruitment cycle, taking place on Monday 9th March 2026 at 17:30.

What pissed me off is I’m sure they said they’re non rolling and now I can’t find that info on their website but guess what bright network posted the job as soon as they opened it and it still says non rolling there

I didn’t apply to fieldfisher but tbh if I were GR and couldn’t be bothered to read all the applications I would have just lied in the PFO email to save face

 

[Jennifer2003]

I have an AC tomorrow that involves a case study and I'm panicking about not being prepared enough. Does anybody know of any free/affordable resources that could be helpful with some last minute prep?

 

[hanz123]

AS U SHOULD

If ive not heard back post AC for 3 and a half weeks should I assume PFO? Has anyone heard back later and been given an offer before or should I just come to terms with it
