    I applied to RPC way back in March and never received an online test invite! Maybe they're taking their time rejecting me.
    sorry to hear that! hopefully it's because they're still considering you?
    i was waiting for a month with some firms, thinking i might be entering the next stage and only received rejection emails when offer holders celebrated on linkedin so i'm not so sure anymore 🥲

    Hi there, sorry I can't be of any help, but please could you tell me when you submitted your app? Did you hear from them today?

    Thank you and good luck for the TI!
    Thank you! Applied at 11:59 on Wednesday and heard back yesterday at 3:30 - quickest turnaround I've seen before

    Does anyone have any advice for the Morgan Lewis telephone interview?! I'd be very very grateful - just got rejected at final round from another firm and I'm feeling very nervous! Also does anyone know if this is standard - are they doing telephone interviews with everyone?

    Has anyone else ever had a horrible TC interview but then still got an offer? I really don't think mine could've gone any worse... wasn't expecting any of the questions that came up and dont think my answers were concise at all!! 😭
    Had enough people message me thinking they have had a terrible interview and ask me to digest it, to only find out a few days later they got an interview.

    Sometimes people are overly critical of themselves and assume the worse post-interview. That’s all very normal thinking processes for someone to go through, but it doesn’t mean they are always the most rationale 😉
