In response to the first part, yes, bonds can be traded without being on a public market and they're called private placements. Essentially you go to private investors directly rather than to investors on a public market (London Stock Exchange etc.), and there is generally less regulation and...
Yeah so its a strengths based interview. Questions like 'how do you stay focused when you are bored' etc. No competency questions. Then towards the end more of a 'why MB?', but don't think they asked me 'why law?'. They also asked some whack question which I cannot remember something to do with...
I had an AC there this year so can give some insight. It was definitely the most tiring AC I've done so be prepared for a long day which consists of 4 parts:
Group Exercise - will most likely be reviewing something and having to come to a decision. If you aren't the leader type then don't...
if you guys are talking about Cooley then I got a WG invite yesterday saying that shortlisted candidates for the AC would find out by 28th Feb. Hope that helps clarification
Any firm if you have other things like relevant experience to back it up. Obviously you will be up against stiff competition so need to stand out if shooting for top firms so be wise in your choice, but certainly don't limit yourself. PM me if you want some pointers
Just to bust some myths here Bakers will not reject you if you have more than one 2:2 module or overall degree grade for more than one year.
I know this because I know someone who has an AC and got an overall 2:2 in both first and second year without any mitigating circumstances at any point in...
Hey,
I didn’t relate anything back to myself OR the firm and got through. I think they are much more geared towards commercial awareness than the firm or yourself. I guess ‘key skills and attributes you will need to possess’ could warrant some reference to yourself, but I would concentrate on...
Thanks Jaysen. I think they have changed it since then because this is just with a senior associate and graduate recruiter - they didn't mention anything about it being a group.
"The average age entered onto the roll in 2016-17, across both genders, is 29.5 years" https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/law-careers/becoming-a-solicitor/entry-trends/
You got aaaaages do not worry about age. If anything enjoy the freedom and experiences you have while you're still young. Good luck!
The name "smart contract" is actually really misleading and the guy who coined it, Nick Szabo, regretted calling it that because of what its actual function is - it is not a legally enforceable contract. A smart contract its essentially a bit of code that is designed to automatically produce a...
They have changed. I don't know if recruiting directly from vac scheme is the reason for not accepting applications at the current time - they still talk about applying for a direct TC on their website as though it's a separate option from vac scheme. But regardless you cannot apply for the 2021...
Bose quiet comforts are unbeatable. They're over-ear but I can wear mine for about 5 hours straight and still forget they're on my head = madness.
I wear them to the gym because they're so lightweight and when the ear pads get too smelly (this has happened once in 4 years of owning them - yes...
Hi Ashleigh,
I approached this by basically explaining why I would be a good fit for Orrick based on the skills and attributes they looked for, and the type of firm they make themselves out to be. Didn't see the point in repeating why law and why Orrick.
Hope this helps!
Whilst these aren't all finance books, they're mostly hedge fund ones, I'd still recommend if you want a look into the funds world.
Hedge Hogs by Barbara Dreyfuss - this is about the collapse of a hedge fund which traded heavily in oil and gas futures. It's more of a story than a book on how...
