I haven’t heard anything from Freshfields direct TC post-app, and my portal was updated on Jan 25th. Is that a definite PFO at this point?

nada since 7th. hoping that they're doing vs acs first so just need to sit tight

I have just received my telephone interview invite from Fieldfisher. It says it will cover "competency, technical and motivational questions". Does anyone have any idea of what the technical questions may cover? Would appreciate any guidance on this.

Hi, I'm afraid I don't have the answer. But I'd like to ask did you apply for 2024 TC and when did you apply?

I applied for 2024 TC on 31/1 and am waiting to hear back.

Thank you!

Is the fieldfisher TC still open? I can't find any link for the application online!

No worries. I applied for the 2023 TC on 14/12 and received the test invite on 22/12.

@OB and @vjbx21 have either of you been offered an AC with KPMG? What made you both apply for a big 4, I've just received an AC invite for KPMG but I'm not sure since they're TC isn't that established.

Hey guys was wondering if anyone had heard anything from Linklaters direct TC yet??

I know of someone who has received a direct TC offer this past week. Assume they may be inviting to ACs in batches?

 

[CSmith]

I applied last year it was a cover letter I believe, but it was a pfo for me

Thank you!! Oh lorddd, had so many PFOs already, not sure I can take another haha

Hi sorry so I got to the VI stage for Deloitte but my KPMG application has been “on hold” ever since I did it in September! So congrats on getting to AC!

Anyone who received a Linklaters TC offer from the call received any follow-up emails?

Re Freshfields TC: I hadn't heard anything post-WG so I emailed asking for my result and they replied very quickly, telling me in which percentile I was placed.

Did they mention when they’re letting us know re AC?

Is freshfields still reviewing apps/sending WG or do you reckon they're done now?

I reckon they still are because they haven't sent any AC invites.

 

[Legalmel_99]

Good luck anyone doing the Browne Jacobson AC today X

They didn't but the auto response I got prior to them replying said they are still screening applications.
