    What decides when people hear back from an AC? I had people in my AC that heard back the very evening with a successful offer, some heard back a couple days after with a rejection and for me it’s now been one week with no updates.

    I didn’t realise that DLA Piper shortlist even after you have passed the VI. Definitely a unique experience but hopefully most who manage to pass the VI also get the AC.

    That post was definitely insightful. I was talking with trainees at Gibson Dunn,Skadden and Cleary and the general message I got conveyed was that US firms tend to prefer older candidates because they are naturally more experienced and are generally able to handle complex tasks better than...

    Yeah completely see your point but I was wondering if being a younger candidate affects your chances, rather than being an older candidate which naturally brings more experience.
