Every time I change trains at an Underground station I'm thinking "I bet they've sent me on a long way round for crowd control reasons, I need to work out the optimal path here for next time".

Had my Willkie partner interview today! If anyone who has already done theirs wants to discuss, I would be very grateful to do so!
Just received my offer for a vac scheme at a firm i like. Really delighted obviously, but ive also done ACs for other firms and awaiting their responses. Would posting on linkedin that i got an offer from X firm negatively impact the other firms' applications if they see it? Dont wanna look like im not interested in their firms by accepting a diff VS, so deciding if i should just hold off from posting
It’s a WG on steroids but maybe I’m biased cos me and the WG don’t get along at all it seems… 
I’m alr assuming it’s a PFO for Orrick cos there’s no way I’m passing that WG at all lmao.

Ohh no way, is the time too little or are the questions that hard??It’s a WG on steroids but maybe I’m biased cos me and the WG don’t get along at all it seems…

Hmm probs more so I found the questions harder than other WGs I did, but I’m sure others will have found the Orrick WG super easy. 
Does anybody know roughly how many places Reed Smith has on their vac schemes total? Considering they have 26 TCs, but also have the direct TC route and placement year students.
Thank you so much for replying, really appreciate itHi!
No need to apologise at all!
I am really sorry to hear this - that's such a frustrating situation, especially when it is out of your control.
It is highly unlikely that they would hold this against you next year, particularly if you have been transparent about the situation. If there is genuinely only one AC date, that is a logistical issue that is out of your control.
If you do withdraw, I would thank them for the opportunity, briefly explain the unavoidable work commitment, and reiterate your interest in the firm and reapplying. The graduate recruitment team understand that people have other commitments alongside the process, so they'll be understanding!
Getting to the AC stage shows that you are a strong candidate - I'm sure you'll have plenty more success moving forward
WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE ACs AND OFFERS EXCEPT FOR ME?? MY INBOX IS SO DRYYYYY 
Excuse the crash out, I've been at this for months and I'm losing brain cells in the process of selling my soul to several different firms for a mere chance of an internship
**Now back to the routine all night grind to finish YET ANOTHER 1,500 word app for a 5 DAY WORK EXPERIENCE PLACEMENT

Congrats! I'm in the same boat as you and decided I'm going to wait till I hear back from the other ACs - but don't let that deter you lol
does anyone know if paul weiss started sending out summer vac scheme acs yet?
I waited 4 weeks, finally heard back today but didn’t get through. I hope you have better luck!Did my Reed Smith AC about a whole three weeks ago and no news
