White & Case final stage interview! Was wondering if anyone had some insight as to whether the date that the interview is done matters. When I received my WE invite, people had already received VS offers. Since I reckon I may be in one of the last few batches and W&C is rolling, should I do one of the earlier interview days? Or will they wait until the entire batch is done with interviews to decide?

Grateful for any insight on scheduling the interview and also for insight on the interview

Heyy when did u do the WE?

Every email I get is making me jump

 

[WillKitchen]

Has anyone had any luck reaching out to trainees etc on linkedin looking for insights into interviews?

I have. But email tends to have better results, since they probably receive plenty of similar comms on LI. Results are always better if you meet them in person at open days first.

I've actually had better responses from Partners than trainees, unusually! Again, make it personal, targeted and meaningful. Always have a very good reason to be in someone's inbox.
