    But it’s still no reason to at least not get a reply. I met their head of recruitment but I don’t know if it’ll be a reach to ask when we can expect to hear back. I asked someone from another firm & they pretty much aired my message on LinkedIn.

    This is so weird I wasn’t asked in it this way.. I was asked about any law or case that I disagreed with.. which made me think they wanted something specific. So my mind went blank and I ended up bringing up a human rights decision. Weird weird. I couldn’t read their faces

    Interesting about white & Case have given some replies and not given some replies. Some of these are irrelevant from when you applied. I applied in December but how come I’ve seen them reply people that applied in November & January that’s so odd
