Does anyone have any tips for the first stage of the Mayer Brown AC? ☺️
You can typically take a day off for a graduation, but any longer than that and it might prove difficult. You should let the firm know ASAP so you can discuss it with them to ensure it doesn't clash with any key events on the scheme.Does anyone else have their graduation ceremony in July which of course coincides with many vacation schemes? Is it reasonable to take time off from a vac scheme in order to graduate or would that be an issue? @Jessica Booker your thoughts would be great !
Nope. I wonder when we will hear baxk post VI for PwC..has anyone heard back from pwc about their ac's?
I haven't heard anything yet, so don't worry! I reckon they'll send everything out at the same time xAnyone heard from Clifford Chance about the Spark scheme AC? They said they would respond by today.
For those who applied to Latham..what made you succeed? The questions are yes simple but cannot be understimatedThey're growing their lit practice and have been involved in some major disputes/arbitration work too - so I wouldn't rule them out!
It’s rather uncommon but can happen. Moving from rather closely related practices might of course be easier. Also worth noting that at the senior level people tend to specialize in 2-3 closely related practices - for ex M&A and Private Equity.Has anyone ever seen/heard of associates switching practice areas after they're qualified? Probably more so within the same field e.g. M&A to capital markets, as opposed to a drastic change like M&A to arbitration. Do you qualify as a solicitor generally, or as a solicitor in a specific practice area? I feel like the idea of staying in one area for the rest of my career is daunting, what if I don't like it anymore lol
It was an email at around 5pmHi can i ask when they rang ?

My (somewhat unhelpful) suggestion is a mini-celebratory meal at either Nandos, Wagamamas or even a Busaba Eathai if you have one close by!Vinson & Elkins AC/interview.
My first AC/interview ever after 2 years of applying. A little shocked right now. Yeezus.
if anyone has any suggestions, i’m all ears!
