    Paul Weiss rejection post-test at 11:10. Finally, after 58 days. Good thing I don't like private equity. At least I won't have to be complicit with their Trump deal now! 🤣 (No comma in the name for you)

    One-to-one where you happen to hear other people's answers, exactly. It was similar to their CAC quarter-finals in that sense, actually.

    I did a group interview with them for their Astrazeneca work experience a while back. It was really strange (I also didn't get through 🤣). If it's anything like then, there are about four of you in a zoom call and they go around each person asking the first question, then the next, etc. The...

    I know it said non-rolling on their website for direct TCs, though I'm not entirely sure for VSs. I mainly said that as I saw other people here getting the test ages ago!

    I'm technically still waiting on Orrick post-app - I never even received the test. Pretty sure it's a rejection by now, though I don't know why they can't just tell me that 🤣

    Has anyone tried submitting an intentionally awful application, just to see if they would come back and say "while we were impressed with your application..." 🤣

    Some young people jump on the bandwagon of complaint because they want an easy life. To them, I have little sympathy. They make it difficult for everyone else to form a coherent argument. The bandwagon itself is very much real, though. Under-trained and over-worked in a broken economy...

    I like how law is the only field that makes you write nearly 2000 words for each job application. Very demure. Very mindful.
