    Kennedy's TC/ SQE programme 2025

    Yep, I felt the same on that task. My answer felt too brief. You’re probs right that there’s more competition for the traditional route. I also have to remember that my relevant experience helped me to make a strong application for the prof liability route in the first place. My initial...

    Mixed for me. Some areas I think I did ok, but other parts felt super rushed and I could have definitely done better. I was shocked to find out there’s a further partner interview if successful at this point. 6 stages seems like a lot! And for only 1 spot for prof liability. Starting to think I...

    Mine is less than one week after. I think it just depends on interviewer availability. 2 weeks after seems long - I feel for you! Do you have any idea whether to expect a group exercise for the AC? I’ve heard mixed things

    Also invited to their AC and glad I’m not the only one feeling confused. I’ve done some general prep but still feeling underprepared as I have very little clue as to what to expect 😩

    Do you know whether everyone does the separate interview or whether you have to pass the AC day first?

    Turns out they only have one day of ACs for the vacancy I applied for so I'm going to stick with the original date and do it on my holiday. Did you get more info through once you accepted the AC date?

    I am also still waiting. I feel the same. It's one of my top choices :(

    No, nothing, sorry :( I am actually trying to get hold of recruitment to see if there’s an option to change the date of mine as I’m going to be abroad

    Possibly same for me. I practiced a lot and have passed similar tests for other firms but maybe they have a high benchmark. Who knows! It’s frustrating but there are always other opportunities and staying positive is always helpful!

    I am also still waiting and maybe starting to think PFO. I applied for the in- house position but not sure if that makes any difference! A bit disappointing as they’re one of my top choices.
