RPC said their AC's are in August so we should hear back end of July at the latest.
Slaughter and May have emailed multiple people for their grades so I presume they are still gathering all the information.
Paul Hastings only contacts people who are successful and I haven't seen anything on here or Reddit so far, so I'm assuming they are still reviewing.

Hey everyone! Has anyone had experience of looking for a FTC paralegal job having confirmed TC? I would really appreciate hearing about your experience, how difficult it is to find a job like that and is it better to apply yourself/deal with the recruiters.

I would also appreciate having general advice on what is best to spend your time on, if you have a year or two to spare before commencing your TC! Do people like to experience some other work environment, save some money and travel or land a paralegal job?
