    Sullivan & Cromwell Interview Experience

    Hey everyone, I thought it would be good to share my experience with S&C's interview seeing as I've received a few messages as well as the fact that when I was looking it up, there seemed to be very scant information here compared to many of the other firms! I've found the information and...

    Sullivan & Cromwell Interview

    Hey man - had my interview with them already! At least for me, it was very relaxed! The impression I got was that they felt that commercial awareness/technicals were a given so were more interested in understanding if they'd like to work with me. Wouldn't worry too much (without being overly...

    Davis Polk Post-Interview Thread

    Hey everyone! Thought i'd create a post interview thread for Davis Polk for the coming days seeing as how a few of us have been waiting to hear back after our interviews (which have concluded). Would probably also be helpful for future people to see the format of the interview, which has changed...

    If you're on hold it's likely that you passed the threshold requirements - however most invites have been given out already (to my knowledge), but definitely still in it! Many people got rejected without the on hold email and i received an invite a month ish after getting "on hold"

    Haven't heard from DP but was told they were hoping to get decisions out today! First interview was a bit tougher, hard to tell if it went well but felt that I connected with the second partner! Fingers crossed buddy

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Thanks Jaysen and Jessica, it's great to have a different perspective on this issue. I think that might have been a concern - in fact I was queried about something similar in my interviews - why apply to be a commercial lawyer if business X is generating $Y in revenue? But that begs the...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    I'd also just add here about what I learned from my experience, which Jessica can either confirm or debunk - Oxbridge / First Class grades or flashy work experiences don't truly matter, at least in comparison to perhaps what you write in the application form itself - I think they're more of a...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica! Have a bit of an unusual question that I hope you could shed some light on, which I think will be helpful for people reading this post because it relates to the importance of academic grades as well as the status of international students during the pandemic where Vac Scheme...
