Got a VI for V&E too! This is my first round of applications and I've never done a VI before - does anyone have any tips?

Also, does anyone know what the next steps are for V&E if you get through the VI? Thanks!
Thinks its a proper AC? Not 100% Tho!

From the one ive done before. Would reccomend having your classic competency questions prepped, and also why law, why the firm etc.

Hi, congratulations on the video interview! :)

I believe the next stage consists of two parts: a presentation with follow-up questions alongside a partner interview (I don't think there is any group exercise element)
