    Allen & Overy SJT

    Rejected from A&O 2023 TC today :/ The email I received stated: Your application and responses to the SJT suggest that you may not be suited for a role as a trainee at Allen & Overy at this time. Does this mean they also read my application? Is it worth even finding out an SJT score or...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hey, I haven't experienced this. Are you sure the email you received say you hadn't done it? Because I got two emails, one about the SJT (yesterday) and one with the SJT link (yesterday). I just did mine today so will let you know if I have the same issue.

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hey! So from my understanding, they're saying that Mayer Brown is a single partnership (meaning they have the same pot of money and the same salary arrangements) with a huge presence in each of those areas. So, whilst there are other firms that have offices in those areas, either they're not a...
