    Just got FF SJT as well. I already have an interview for another role this afternoon anyway so will probably tackle it later this evening or tomorrow. Is it automatic? Or does this technically mean you've "passed" the application stage if you get sent the SJT? Thought I read others had a WG...

    Didn’t write the questions down but remember thinking it wasn’t particularly stressful compared to others. It’s only 3 questions for a start. Think it was 2x competency and 1x motivational? Granted, I haven’t heard back so don’t know how well I answered! I will forever hate VI as an interview...

    Akin Gump PFO today. Feel like I’m in a decent place overall this cycle but PFO’s still sting!

    Congrats, I just got one for DTC. Can I ask how you interpret the deadline for the VI? Is it 72 hours from the time they sent the email? Am I being dense?

    It’s not automatic, I got PFO from CMS without one.

    Just got VI invite from W&C, anyone else had one? Just want views on the deadline… is it 72 hours from receipt of email? Quite a quick turnaround. ETA: oops, it was Summer Vac, not DTC. Ugh.

    I did it, but I can’t remember it that well now! It was hard though. Goodwin’s was definitely more straight forward. Let me rack brains or see if I wrote notes.

    I think I interviewed around the 15th and heard back this Monday. Received a holding email sometime in between to say I would hear back this week.

    I’ve applied to W&C and SH already but haven’t heard back. Pretty sure BM and NRF aren’t even open yet for direct TC. I am assuming they are slow because they will assess what spaces they have left over for direct TC after seeing what the SV talent pool was like?

    Hi all, I have an invite to Fieldfisher AC and just wondered if anyone is able to share their experiences either from previous years or this? Any idea what a paired exercise involves? Apparently it’s individual case study, paired exercise and director interview.

    Possibly, the turn around time to complete the VI is quite quick (2 business days). So they might work through them in stages?
