Anyone who did the WG for FF on Monday hear back either way?

I haven't heard but people got AC invites already so might be cooked. But the email said they’ll be holding the assessments between the 8th-19th of June so I’m hoping there are still days left

I’m hoping the Monday lot (us) are for the later dates

 

[CheddarChaser]

is here anyone who already heard back post written questions for Reed Smith? How long did it take them to respond? Either positive or negative news

I’ve not heard anything personally. I think mine was sent ~3 weeks ago.

 

[Bottega_Veneta]

Anyone heard from S&C? I read they routinely place some candidates on hold but decisions for interviews are made after the deadline

 

[Kj1996]

Withers anyone?

 

[Vee77]

Those who did the Reed Smith written questions, how long did it take you to get them after the VI? I submitted the VI 3 days ago, should i assume PFO?

 

[privateequitywarrior]

Bakers AC completed, was a long one don’t think I’m getting it.
On a positive note- I had @Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner drive me in a helicopter to the AC as a result of the tube strikes

2 days but it was much earlier on in the process so probably quieter. I wouldn’t assume PFO. The team are probably just really busy at the moment as I imagine they received a lot of applications near the deadline

I got the AC and the email made it out to sound like there are no more ACs left. Who knows though

 

[TC??!]

Withers interview rejection came through!

Check your spam or promotional inbox, they have sent first batch of interview and PFO if you completed the test before the deadline.

Hey! I applied to S&C and I’d appreciate if you could elaborate on this!? What do you mean by placing candidates on hold?

I did mine on the 18th and I’ve got nothing either, so idk if that means we’re in a maybe pile…​
