    I did not apply, but this would be my thinking. Last chance for anyone who did Hogan AC for direct TC to come forward. Otherwise I will apply for their WVS.

    I cannot say how RB affects Sidley - but most of the the time rolling basis is irrelevant.

    The process is interview then proper AC. This interview won't be final stage - firms wont hire you without doing a group exercise!

    I'm cooked then. I cannot express the words as to what a joke this is. 3x 600 word application questions to be rejected by SJT which is just luck. And why bother make us to the VI if we have already failed the test. Complete joke.

    They have also sent a reminder e-mail today stating the deadline is Friday - instead of Monday as first claimed. Idk if this is a mistake or they have actually moved the deadline. Really annoying, I need to plan the test around my work.
