Hi I had mine and had to reflect a lot on it. When I thought about all the challenging questions they asked me, I honestly took it as them making sure I knew what type of environment PW is and how heavy heavy it is at PE. I genuinely think the interview is the way it is because PW is a very...- msclm

is it common for firms to allow you to postpone offers - say their winter offer to spring? I have an AC and partner interview coming up for 2 firms, but have already accepted another wvs with my top firm, so kinda wondering if there is any point to continuing with the process for the other 2 lol- msclm

hi! I did mine last week. It is def like a normal AC interview - a bit about yourself, a bit about the firm and then a few "what would you do ..." type of things. I will say, I mentioned an element of sustainable PE that interested me and I got grilllllled on it. I dont think it was done to...- msclm

regarding accommodation for vac schemes, if the firm has not stated that they provide accommodation on their website, is it still ok to ask if this is something that can be discussed?- msclm

I mean the word “shortlisted” prob means we were shortlisted - which implies some people weren’t. Which means it ain’t automatic? Idk tho I could be wrong.- msclm

I’m going to say it isn’t as the email asking us to do the test says “Your application has been shortlisted for the next stage of the process as you've demonstrated the potential that we are looking for.”- msclm

Thank you !!! I feel very blessed for how this cycle is going for me so far! I don’t think the misspelling (which I’d argue it really isn’t) is a big issue. For a different firm (dechert) I misspelled the firm name twice and still have been progressed LMAO- msclm

Hi! I’ll give you my 2 cents. I’m in the app process (have done the WE for dechert a week ago and have a jones day AC in 2 weeks) for the 2 firms you mentioned. Dechert have given out a lot of WE invites, so they are actively recruiting - however it seems like their process may have plateaued as...- msclm
