Hill Dickinson PFO post SJT/VI… thought I did well

same here

 

[Bruce Wayne Attorney at Law]

Has anyone done the Linklaters London-Singapore AC ? Happy to trade any other insights that may be useful to you.

Would also like to know the expected timeline - have seen on the VS chain that people were waiting / have been waiting quite a while since completing job sim

They had almost the exact same setup in the assessment as FF and I believe it was about a 1-2 month wait post second assessment if I remember correctly

Anyone heard from Stevens & Bolton? It's been over a month since the applications closed

shoosmiths said in the reserve email that direct TCs will get a response by May 20th so could be a while still!

so it is rolling and they already give decision on direct TC before the march deadline?

Wow that's a really long time - is that because they are waiting to hand out VS offers before recruiting through DTC?

what office was this for? well done!

 

[WeGotThis!]

I’ve heard some people have had interviews

Ooh! Thank you! When were these interview invites sent out?

 

[Jennifer2003]

No no. I applied for their discover placement and was offered a place on their reserve list. As I can no longer make the dates anyway, I asked to just be considered for the TC (doing the placement could have led to an AC for a TC so they said I could just be reconsidered for the AC) and they said that all TC applications will hear their outcome by Wednesday 20th May. They say that they are rolling, but every application submitted by the deadline is assessed

Well done! Is this for a direct TC?

 

[WeGotThis!]

I'm not sure! They said they would hear the outcome by 6th March though

Thank you!
