W&C pfo 😳😅 expected it though after I applied a week before deadline & hadn’t had an invite to VI yet…

Has anyone heard from Macfarlanes, or know when to expect to hear back? Had the WG feedback sent to me over 2 weeks ago.
I probably should be expecting mine any minute from now 😔 no vi invite yet. I spent so long on that application too 😭

Hey all, I recently got a full time job and would love some advice from people on how they balanced that with applications. I find that I have no energy after work to start preparing for the next cycle let alone draft applications. Thank you :)
I was working full time during the last application season and honestly it took a lot of time management and planning! Others from the platform might have better advice but what worked for me was having a folder with all the usual information they ask such as your university grades and work experience section in a folder then you copy and paste! It’s very important to know when the firms you’re applying to will open their application so when answering the firm specific questions, you can start early and actually take your time. During the week I’d carry out bits of research after work and note them down but once the weekend comes, I use that time to curate my answer. The more you apply, the easier it is in my opinion. Good luck! 🫶🏽
