I also got rejected for Bakers so I wouldn't worry that its just you! Keep on going

Oh I see.

Has anyone heard positively from AS about the Harbottle & Lewis TC interview? I’m not sure if I’m being ghosted or they just haven’t responded to everyone!

Hey - sorry to hear that. When did you apply to Bakers? Was this direct TC?

 

[djqb]

Baker McKenzie Direct TC PFO.

Sorry to hear that mate, something else is around the corner for you

When did you apply mate?

 

[JayB]

It is the second time this has happened to me so who knows.

Don’t worry! Everyone will eventually get a TC offer from their dream firm, it’s great how you are resilient. Your time will come if you just stick at it

There is so many other firms who recruit largely from direct TC apps, which have opened or about to open!

I got a PFO 3 days ago and I think some other people have been rejected. On the other hand, I haven't actually heard of anyone being offered an interview.
Might be a good thing that you haven't heard back yet!

Yh I know but it is annoying because my application was really strong so I don't know what it was.

Oh I see! Yeah I’m not sure then.. all I can say is best of luck for your future applications

If you know someone in Bakers (as you mentioned you had your application read by couple trainees), maybe they can get you feedback from the GR team on what went wrong with your application. That’s just food for thought.

Yh we move on and you are right I will try to see to get feedback.

Hi guys, I am working on direct tc apps rn and just wondering if I should apply for White & Case? Am not too sure if this cycle WC may take only VS candidates?

They said they take 10-15% from direct TC.
