If it’s a step before what can they possibly ask in the final step it seems like quite a lot! But I do think there must be a final step seems like a fair few got to this stage! Good luck everyone I am assuming PFO as loads were successful today but trying to stay hopeful

Do you have an assessment centre coming up with Macfarlanes and if you don't me asking that annoying question. When did you apply.

Questions you genuinely want the answers to and haven't been answered of the firm's website.
Yeah if does seem like a lot, but thinking more about it, it is actually just a few tests and a video interview which is not entirely different to what most firms have as their second stage for vac scheme applications.
I would assume that the next stage would be the more traditional assessment centre where there’s a live interview, case study, group exercise etc, but I have no idea because they’ve obviously significantly changed their application process this year and there’s nothing about it on the website.
Best of luck, don’t assume a PFO until they actually send the email- they may just be doing it in batches so no need to stress yet!
ok, anybody else still waiting on latham post-app?
Usually just google "x firm strategy" and it will come up - or use other words such as 'vision'

Sometimes firms will produce an annual report that goes beyond financial statements. That might be a good port of call.
Either that or our “about us” section of the website are usually good starting places for each firm.
Has anyone not heard back from Shearman post interview?
Is anyone still waiting on Simmons post VI? I completed mine on 19th January.

I always recommend asking the interviewers about themselves and their experiences with the firm. Things like what made them qualify in their chosen area, what is it about the firm that made them stay on, or following up on anything else they might have mentioned when they were introducing themselves/throughout the interview. People love talking about themselves imo, and I think it helps build some small rapport with the interviewer if you let them do so.
Maybe email them again and tell them that your portal still isn't working and that you didn't receive an email from them yet as they said they would on Monday and ask them for the outcome?Still nothing from PwC. Is this some kinda prank on me?
Yeah I did mine on the 23rd December and am also still waiting! It seems like Simmons have still been handing out VIs quite recently too so we'll probably have to wait a bit longer
I love it when you inquire about an application, and 5 minutes later you get the standard rejection email as a response.
Had a similar experience with A&O for their Dubai VS - emailed them asking if I could add supplementary information that I'd received from my university (grades for some modules) - they rejected me the next day
