Burges Salmon question
All of the above could fit. Brexit and tech are used a lot for these types of questions. It’s not the end of the word, but if you do decide to use one of them, you should be very specific about how/why it applies to Burges Salmon. I’d say it’s much more about that side of things. When you...- Jaysen

Happy World Mental Health Day!
PS: This book is fantastic re: the science behind sleep - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06Y649387/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1. Sounds dry but it's actually really interesting.- Jaysen

Happy World Mental Health Day!
Hi everyone, Just a quick note from me: Spending hours and hours on applications, interviews and vacation schemes, only to receive a rejection, is mentally very tough. If you're struggling, feeling demotivated, wondering if you'll every make it through this process, that's nothing to be...- Jaysen

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
I assume you mean Weil/Kirkland's commercial awareness question? If so, you can treat it like any other commercial question: no need to write about PE unless you want to.- Jaysen

Least time consuming initial applications?
Some of the shorter apps: Bird & Bird HSF Hogan Lovells Jones Day Shearman Weil That doesn't take into account the difficulty of the questions though e.g. quite a few people struggle with HSF's topic and Shearman's competitive advantage question.- Jaysen

Faegre Baker Daniels Interview 2019
First round interview Fairly relaxed, lots of opportunities to break some jokes. About half of the questions were CV-based, so make sure to review your application before the interview. Most of the questions were very specific to what I wrote, e.g. I put in my application that I was training...- Jaysen

How to avoid overlap in Ashurst question?
It’s a good question. I’d say the second question is more about identifying what differentiates Ashurst, whereas in your cover letter, you’ll be drilling down on why you are personally applying to the firm. You’re right though, there is likely to be some overlap, so you may want to answer the...- Jaysen
