Would this be the same during the VS? So would there be the same written exercise or interviews during the VS that you’d do on the DTC AC? I’m not entirely sure what their process is cos surely it’s not just the one partner interview pre-VS?- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

MoFo: nothing for anyone yet it seems post app. Sidley...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I know NRF and Linklaters have sent ACs out and I’ve seen Summer VS offer(s) for Linklaters. I don’t think SH sent SJT and VIs yet and I believe their AC is during the actual VS itself not before it? Their deadline for apps closed around a week ago so I reckon you have a shot for them! Clyde &...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Let’s all just time travel back to the 1990s/2000s when all it took was a phone call and interview and boom the TC was all yours… :) Oh, but then we wouldn’t have the shiny £150k+ NQ salaries that draw us to apply to US/MC firms in the first place… Oh well that’s a minor.
