    Sorry if this is a bit of a silly question/been asked before but if I'm referring to M&A in an application can I just say "M&A" first mention or should I say "mergers and acquisitions (M&A)" and then use the acronym?

    Does anyone know how we are supposed to structure work experience details for Weil? I am fairly certain someone from the early careers team said that they wanted it in bullet points, but just wanted to check!

    Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, which insight evening was this for? I applied for the women's one, but I know the date has been changed for that so wasn't sure when I should expect to hear back.

    I’ve heard nothing I’m afraid, sorry. Re direct TC, do you know if those who have heard back so far post WG were rejections or further assessment invites?

    Just got Capp report back from Linklaters, strengths were working with others and resilience, weakness was leadership preference. Anyone have any insights on this? Im worried scoring badly for leadership doesn't look good (i.e., lacking confidence/initiative), but not sure what to make of it
