Guys... Any tips on how to manage anticipation anxiety? I've never made so many applications and awaited for so many results, worrying about their outcomes. Life in academia was so smooth and I always got into wherever I wanted to. Dealing with rejections for the first time, in bulk is mildly...- Lawlawland

Yes, they told the same tbh. While they're rolling out ACs for Vac Schemes, they're planning to wait till the deadline for AI internship closes to make any decisions for this. That said they're taking step cautiously. While my friend who applied for the AI one got rejected in a few days...- Lawlawland

They're figuring out ig, coz I got two different inputs regarding this. One said there might be an interview with grad team and the tech team. One wasn't sure if they have any...

Yes, they have 3 potential paths, given we perform really well: 1. If we wanna continue in the legal tech space, they'll note us as priority when a role opena up and reach out and hire us directly. 2. If we wanna take the solicitor path, and if we wanna do a vac scheme for exposure, or if they...- Lawlawland

When I met them this week, they said they'll make decisions only around the deadline, as this is new and they're evaluating the kind of applications and interests people display. Thay said, they're offering around 8 seats for this!- Lawlawland

They replied to my mail saying that now they're receiving all of the WGT scores (as most people were given time to do it until today), and will shortly be in touch with the outcome. Best to anticipate it in 2 to 5 days time!- Lawlawland

Stage 1: normal SJT. You get to do it immediately after your application. Stage 2: if you meet the benchmark for the SJT, you'll be passed on to the second stage, which is also a test and VI. This is for behaviour and critical thinking (similar to WGT but bespoke to Latham). This part is...- Lawlawland
