Thanks a lot, Reed Smith. Great to hear from you.
My TI invite included the date and time, I don't think you need to pick. Maybe email back to check again?Hey if I may ask when is your TI? I was offered one without a choice of date and time.
So sorry to hear that! You still did extremely well to even get to the AC in the first placeWeil PFO post AC, but I'm not surprised considering the length of time that has passed since my interview.
Hope everyone else gets better news!
I'm in the same position as you! I've not received a single holding email, and when I emailed earlier this week, I also got the same response!Goddammit not a single holding email from RS even after emailing them earlier this week and getting a response saying "they would get back to me soon"
Should I email them again? IDK why they've left me out of the holding emails post VI - haven't received a single one
This hurts more than a PFO dude
Definitely will do!I'm in the same position as you! I've not received a single holding email, and when I emailed earlier this week, I also got the same response!
Let me know when you get a response or anything!
thank you!So sorry to hear that! You still did extremely well to even get to the AC in the first place
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is the first year where they have held the strengths based interview as a video interview rather than as part of the assessment day so maybe it’s just taking them longer to look through them allWhy do you think RS are taking so long to provide an outcome? Do you think there were a lot of strong VIs this year?
I was contemplating emailing them because not to get a third holding email is ridiculous! Nothing shows up on my portal either. But like you said, I don't really want to annoy them especially as they are so busy.Definitely will do!
I think I might not email them again and just wait - don't want to annoy them - but it is sad just being left out of holding emails for no apparent reason and no PFO yet 😢
Hi! It's next week - they just specified a time/day in the email so I didn't actually get a choice if they didn't specify anything I'd email GR?Hey if I may ask when is your TI? I was offered one without a choice of date and time.
Defo agree. I think stronger candidates were offered the AC choices first, irrespective of whether they applied to the spring or summer scheme. I don’t want to read too deep into the holding e-mails either. I assume I’ve been PFOd - better to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Love the firm but if it doesn’t work out, it was good to get more VI experience for other firmsReed Smith applicants, how many holding letters have you had? Some people say they've had none while others say they have 3. I'm currently on my third holding email while other people have already been invited to the AC. Last week they said they will contact successful applicants to confirm AC dates by this week and they have for quite a few people. It seems that no one has received a PFO yet.
I think the people who did not receive a holding email have little to worry about and it's more likely an administrative issue. Doesn't seem at all logical to only apologise to some people about the length of time they're taking to get back to everyone.
