Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019
Motivation is definitely one of the most important factors. Firms know how tough it is for trainees, that you're going to be working long hours under a lot of pressure. They need someone who will thrive in that environment and work well with the rest of the team. It's why they want someone who...- Jaysen

Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019
Try to give an honest reflection of what you feel you could have improved on. e.g. Was there a particular assessment that could have gone better? Maybe you didn't convince the firm of your motivation in the final interview?- Jaysen

Useful links and resources
Mainly the big ongoing topics: Brexit US trade war with China Challenges facing high street Big tech regulation/growth Rising interest rates Rise of tech/AI I'd also be aware of the US tech sell off/stock decline. The Saudi Aramco IPO would have also fallen into this category, but the story...- Jaysen

I wouldn't assume that. I'd think they were more likely to come up in that kind of interview (compared to a commercial one).- Jaysen

Debevoise & Plimpton Open Day/Interview
I asked a future trainee at Debevoise about this. He said the Debevoise AC is very different from the standard AC and a lot less formal. The impression he had was that there was more emphasis placed on personality at Debevoise than other firms. In terms of whether the interview is based on the...- Jaysen

Taylor Wessing Questions

I don't know TW's POV on this though and in the TW applications I've reviewed I've seen some students do both...- Jaysen

Addleshaw Goddard video interview
From a very kind-hearted future trainee at Addleshaw Goddard who wrote all of this while travelling! "Firstly, I believe that the AG video interview is limited to generic I) motivation, ii) competency and iii) commercial awareness questions, and therefore it is possible to have a pre-prepared...- Jaysen
