[BM99]

Does anyone know if Freshfields will disclose your WG test score?

 

[futureTS2025hopeful]

Anyone heard from Orrick post WG?

 

[hashneevvora]

has anyone heard back from white & case direct tc applications? or has an idea when we will hear back?

 

[zizszhplum]

does anyone know what to expect from Taylor Walton first interview?

 

[Lian Lian]

Is anyone still waiting for hear back from Slaughters? I've seen some people getting interviews and some getting PFOs. I feel quite worried ngl😭 still hoping for the best tho! 😂

Portal updated on 2nd Aug for the TC - no WG test though We love it (FF)

Also not heard anything from NRF either :/

Mine just updated today and didn’t get a WG - does that mean I should move on

Have you received a rejection yet? I guess no..believe it when you see it!

No idea. It’s just not a great sign. You decide based on how strong you think your app was.

 

[Future_lawyer_somewhere]

I do think the person who said the portal updates once Grad Rec has viewed it is correct.

I checked my app a week ago (before my most recent date change on the portal) and I could still swap my personal statement. Now that button has gone and the date is two days ago.
(When I wasn’t online)

Has anyone heard from Payne Hicks Beach?

Nope 😬

Can anyone who's doing the Latham VI confirm what they meant when they said the deadline was Friday 5 August midnight? Does that mean the deadline is tomorrow or is the deadline tonight? I'm extra confused because another email said the deadline is Friday (+01:00 GMT)

getting stressfully close to the ACs

getting stressfully close to the ACs

this might be a stupid question, but would they tell us if we're unsuccessful or would we just never hear from them again?

yeah the fact they say 'if your application is successful' is a bit nerve-wracking - would be so mean if they did that though haha

I would like a little bit of advice.

I have an interest in going into renewable energy/energy project financing. With some experience in the finance aspect of this from previous experience. Accordingly, when I learned of a one year FTC at Siemens Energy, working as an intern with legal counsel. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for me post PGDL, when it finishes at the end of the month; whilst I apply for training contracts.

On the bright network page there was no deadline when I looked, which I thought was rather odd (it just said rolling), I have drafted a cover letter, had ex-colleagues help finesse it. With it all ready to be sent off, I go to do just that to see that the deadline was on 1st August. However there was no mention of this on the Bright Network website.

Would it be worth reaching out to HR at Siemens Energy (for which I cannot find an email), or send an email to Bright Network.

Has anyone had success applying for a role like this (intern, in house) post deadline?

Thanks in advance!
