[QUOTE="MDS, post: 41172, member: 7997"] Hey all, thought I'd write up my experiences from the Burges Salmon AC I had today to help others looking to apply to the firm! So first off, everyone was really friendly. We started off with a half-hour talk from a partner, talking about her career and a bit more about the firm. We then had a written exercise which we were given 1.5hrs to complete (a trainee said they give the virtual AC cohorts extra time to accommodate for technical issues etc). It was fairly ok, had to look at the strengths and weaknesses of two companies for a client investment. Then, had to give a presentation on the written exercise. This was the bit I was really nervous about, but it was just 5 min presentation with you and a member of graduate recruitment. They asked two questions (greatest strength/greatest weakness of the investment opportunity you chose). It really wasn't bad at all. Next was a standard 30min Watson Glaser. We finished off with an hour of networking with a trainee which was really nice. They put you into groups of four and chatted amongst yourselves for an hour to learn more about the firm. This bit wasn't assessed and was just for you to learn more about the firm. Overall, it was a really nice day. I was expecting to have more group interaction with our cohort, but I guess that's the way it goes with covid. I'll update tomorrow after my interview to give those looking to apply an insight into that as well! [/QUOTE]
