I spoke to a partner and senior associate at A&O and they said that a large part of getting through the application stage is luck.- Prudentia

I sometimes feel like the process to get a TC is just one gigantic humiliation exercise. I bet GR/the training principles are like this when designing the process:- Prudentia

I really wish karma existed in corporate. Too often, it feels like the people who advance the furthest are the ones most willing to step on others. Big Law especially is not known for morality and ethics.- Prudentia

Recruitment is not a moral or fair process. You have to do what’s in your best interests always because everyone else is out for themselves.- Prudentia

You can withdraw from a recruitment process at any point. They’re really not going to care. It’s expected that candidates will drop out anyway.- Prudentia

Thank you so much for explaining this. I guess it makes sense, as they make it clear the feedback report isn't the outcome. Similar to you, there's no point worrying about the outcome until I hear back. What's done is done. Wishing you all the best with BCLP!- Prudentia

Just completed the White & Case online assessment and received my feedback. Does anyone know how the report is weighted? I scored highly on personal responsibility, adaptability and credibility, but collaboration was an area of development. Does anyone also know if White & Case have started...- Prudentia

Better polish off your application technique for next year! 🤣 But on a serious note, definitely not. They’ll just want to confirm you worked there. Lying about working somewhere could get your offer rescinded. Being off by a few weeks in terms of dates won’t. Employment screening is often done...- Prudentia

It would take them a lot longer to get back to people if they did it that way round. The SJT and WG helps them cut down the number of applications they need to manually review.- Prudentia

The test itself is very short, but the questions are a lot harder than your average WG. I haven’t done the ES test so can’t comment.- Prudentia

I think you need to pass the SJT at stage 1. It’s a WG test on steroids.- Prudentia
