    I swear although they say you can reapply that many firms just filter you straight out if you do.

    They will be higher. You will know if you were entered into a lower scoring gcse. Highers mean that the grades will go up to a 9 or A* so I would assume they are the ones you entered.

    I think I read somewhere they said that due to the increase in number of applications to their vac schemes they were confident they would be able to fill all TC vacancies from those applicants so would not therefore be opening a direct TC route this year.

    I wondered that too because I thought this was one where I emailed the application?

    It doesn't mean they haven't. It just means they haven't posted. Previously I have posted but upon realising that at some there are so few applicants that I would be easily recognisable I no longer do because I want to retain my anonymity.

    My 2 theories: They timed your response to the one with the error in. How long did you take to end up guessing? They were testing resilience and how well you performed after that question or did it throw you off kilter 😭🤣

    Just adding to the PEP calculations debate. It doesn't always show profitability accurately as some partnerships have equity partners on a lockstep basis. Also some firms earmark a portion of profits for both the non equity partner bonus "pots" and indeed other fee earners and non-fee earner...

    Possibly not for all offices. They do it on an office by office basis.

    Maybe the first with hindsight could come across as rude but it wasn't meant to be. I was actually trying to joke that even as a non law student I can see the relevance. The second definitely not. It isn't just an employment issue. Hence the comment framed as a question. This is same type of...

    ? I simply wouldn't expand more fully on my answer whilst processes are ongoing but gave another example than the one they suggested. Calling someone mad rude and condescending because they explain why an interview question is a valid one is possibly the more rude response. If you look at my...

    I often help people here and by DM. I simply don't understand why it is any different to not disclosing specific questions whilst processes are undoing which is what is asked if us. I wasn't being combatative merely explaining there were reasons why this IS being asked by firms at interview...

    I actually amended my answer to give one example . This comes down to your own commercial awareness. Wider reading helps in that regard. There are other examples but as I am still in the process I think this is another area where I would be willing to give a fuller answer after I have secured...

    It wouldn't just be within employment law though would it? For example it may impact tendering processes as one example. Lawyers need to think more holistically and be able to spot issues they may need to refer to colleagues in other practice areas internally.

    Not really. They ask whether interviewees think the impact of the DEI news in the US will impact the UK and how it will affect UK law firms - this doesn't mean just the firm itself but the advice they give.

    not rude and explain you have successfully secured a TC. Please release the space as they usually have a wait list for others who would very much welcome the chance to be progressed and need a TC!
