    has anyone else applied to fried frank's TC? if so, does anyone know what the word limit is supposed to be for the questions? The cover letter entry states a 500 word limit but there is no mention for the other 3 questions. There also isn't a maximum word entry in the boxes. I figured the best...

    @Jessica Booker Are helix/cartilage piercings in ears considered inappropriate for ACs? Would it reflect badly on me?

    Would it be okay if I simply phrased it as enquiring about the support and then emphasising the 4 hour commute each day? Do firms that advertise help with accommodation actually do so or do they only really help with travel costs as a rule?

    From door to door it would be around 2 hours each way - a half an hour walk from my home to the station, then an hour train ride into london, then abt a half hour ish to take the underground and walk to the firm. I had considered simply asking about what kind of support is available but...

    @Jessica Booker Just wanted to post to ask for advice for an upcoming vac scheme. I do not live in London and the commute to the office in question is roughly 2 hours each way (so a total of 4 hours every day). The firm has on their website that support for travel/accommodation is to be...

    Would the firm consider it more acceptable if i informed that I had accepted the offer over a month before the interview invite (and that I only had a week to accept it), and that I didn't want to be disrespectful by cancelling that offer? This firm is just one of my dream firms, and I'm scared...

    @Jessica Booker Do law firms tend to see it as bad if a candidate asks to be moved to the direct tc process after an interview for a vac scheme? I have accepted an offer for a vac scheme at another firm and have moved to the interview stage at another firm that I really like. The vac scheme...
