    They might’ve changed it now but yeah, last year they were both in the same stage. I did them on the same day as I had to do the interview virtually cause I was on year abroad, but I think most people had the case study on another day (but wasn’t a separate stage)

    There are like 5 VI questions in the job sim so I would practice some VI questions. There’s also a short written task but I don’t think you can prepare much for that or the SJT sections

    If you know you definitely prefer the direct TC firm then I would say there’s no point. But if you’re not sure, and still considering the other firms then it could be worth completing the vacation schemes to help with your decision

    I think this post has some relevance, not sure which US firms you were referring to, but if they recently started recruitment this might be part of why you’ve seen that trend? https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/ask-willkie-farr-gallagher-anything.4439/post-152818

    I applied in September and haven’t heard anything. When I emailed in January they said if you haven’t heard your application is still under consideration, but I’ve seen some offers on here and LinkedIn so I’m not hopeful
