Obsessively refreshing my emails waiting for my IM PFO to come through

Lol I logged into the portal thing which seemed to prompt the email to come through for me haha (I never got an email to invite me to the VI I just found it when I logged in!)

Done the same. There’s nothing there. I guess we have to anxiously wait a little longer for a PFO…

Has anyone heard back from IM post VI for Bristol office? Thanks!

 

[thirdtimelucky]

Weil PFO post video interview.


Guess I can go to wagamama now! 😅

If we still haven't heard from Linklaters for summer VS should we assume a PFO?

Well guys, joining the IM PFO party!!

How possible is it to defer vac scheme offers to the next application cycles (e.g., summer 2022 to winter 2022)? I understand that it will differ from firm to firm, but I'm wondering whether this is even an option

 

[Adrian_S]

Does anyone know if we can ask Weil for feedback on our VIs (given that it’s the second last stage before the AC)?

 

[Jooooopp7]

Does anyone have any advice on a first stage MoFo interview?? Happy to help in return if I can!

It is possible in some circumstances and the easiest way to find out is to ask the firm - there is no harm in asking.

They will probably just want to understand your reasons for deferring though - for instance, if it is because you are accepting competing schemes, then the firm is less likely to offer this knowing your preference is with other firms and that you are likely to secure a TC from another firm ahead of 2023.

Most of the times I have done it, it is where personal circumstances (usually extenuating circumstances) have meant the individual cannot do the VS this time around.

TW PFO. Sorry for the negativity, but I really don't think that TW's arctic shores assessment is a true or fair representation of our personalities. I scored 0 for interpersonal skills which I find hard to believe.
