    Thank you :) what will be, will be. It's my first ever round so a steep learning curve and I'm trying to take it as a practice run, make sure I'm on top form for later in the year. I applied on 10th Jan. Best of luck with any you're waiting for!

    Can anybody recommend any virtual events/workshops they've attended which you feel has helped with your applications, both in terms of how to make them stand out but also, to add to the "detail any events you've attended" section? Alternatively any in-person events that were really useful?TIA!

    Weil PFO 😢 2 down, 8 to go. Not feeling hopeful having not got past an application stage yet. As I’ve not heard from anyone else I’m presuming PFO as, if they were keen I imagine I’d have had VI or something by now 🤔

    Please could I ask for some insight into the L&W Behavioural Assessment (SJT) in terms of outcomes. I’ve been trawling forums for a while but not found much around feedback. Being completely transparent mine came back: Strengths - Effective communication and judgment Development - Personal...

    I would but I’m managing two property renovations and looking after 3 children under 4 so I can’t do my applications until they go to bed. It’s easy to check an email but hard to not think about it when I’m playing trains 🤣

    How do you guys cope with this? It’s ridiculous. I’m on edge constantly. I know a watched pot never boils but I’m checking my emails constantly. Not had anything back from anyone yet. One minute I’m gutted not to have heard from anyone but the next I’m relieved as no news is good news and not a...

    I am no authority on this whatsoever but, for what it’s worth, I’d say kick that thought out the door. You’ve applied and these firms want to see you in full knowledge of your background. They wouldn’t be wasting their time if they had no intention of hiring you so you’ve just as much right to...

    Good luck this week to everyone waiting for responses to applications/VIs/TIs/ACs! I’m NOT going to check my emails every 10 minutes (I may stretch to 11) 😀

    *gets to interview stage and all goes well until…* ”So, tell us why you want to work for K&E?” *😰 £31m, £31m, £31m, £31m 😰😰😰* ”Er, um, well, when comparing to other firms, there’s probably 31 million reasons why I prefer you. Not least the high-profile client portfolio consisting 31 million...

    Well I did think that too, but then thought, surely people must have mentioned it to them so why haven't they amended it? That's when my conspiracy theories started haha. Well done on passing the app stage! I've got a pretty strong feeling I won't have passed any. 😩

    Has anyone else noticed the spelling errors on Dechert's website? Being the cynic I am I'm wondering if it's deliberate to see who points it out. But then I'm torn wondering do they like it being noted (attention to detail) or do they see it as obnoxious? Ahh why does this process make me...

    Amazing! Well done! When did you apply if you don’t mind me asking? I applied 1/1 and nothing yet. As there’s been a round of VI invites today I’m assuming PFO though

    That’s a relief as I’m practically an OAP as far as this process goes 🙊 I’d be 36 when I started my TC so if age matters I may as well climb in to my coffin now 🤣

    Introduction with a difference

    Thank you so much @ml_vk2022 thats so kind of you. I think I could bring something to the table but, to be fair, so many people can, far more than available places I’m sure! Lovely to meet you and thank you again for your kind words. Wishing you all the luck in the world and keeping everything...

    Oh wow, thank you so much for such a kind and supportive reply @AvniD! I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to come back to you - I just wanted to dedicate the time you kindly did for me. I really hope you’re right. I’ve been making the most of mitigating circumstances boxes and explaining...

    Just the standard ‘Dear John’. Must do them in bulk. Dumped by mail-merge worse than being dumped by text. Brutal!
