Congrats! I thought they were non-rolling but that's amazing! How did you find the VI?

 

[AnOptimisticStudent]

At this point I’m gonna start protesting outside of law firm‘s offices until they give me an offer, I’ll do whatever it takes
if they want dedication I’ll give it to them!!

hahaha same, good news or bad news, it’s the outcome 🤣

 

[lik0401]

Hypothetically, is it often possible to switch between spring/summer vacation schemes if you end up having a clash? (I'm not in this quite fortunate position haha, just wondering as the places I am progressing with have vacs at the same time - and some have alternate schemes).

 

[NotLord Denning]

Mofo post application or post interview? Interviewed there a while back, so have a few others

After the app I mean. Oh great that means I’m done lol

The most I've seen personally is firms being willing to move you from, for example, Summer Scheme 1 to Summer Scheme 2. I've never seen a move to an entirely different scheme because usually they're completely full from their application process - although there might be some variance within firms!

@Autotunedbird hi which of those did you hear back from?

 

[Adrian_S]

Omg Saumya doing that mock interview with Chloe and Mahesh with less than an hour’s notice - Jesus H. Christ what an icon! Need that energy! People in this community can be so inspiring - love watching people lean into uncomfortable things and grow.

I can't really see the list of firms I had listed that you are referring to but pretty much PFO from Hogan Lovells, DLA, Dentons and BCLP post-WG/SGT. CMS told me they're still processing applications even though I'm literally at the post-app stage and some people already have ACs and offers already (they do have a large intake so a little bit of hope left in me tbh) and I can ALREADY smell a pfo coming from Latham post-SGT, they just want to do it fatality style maybe? 😭 Waiting for CRS, Travers and Mayer Brown now

hi sorry to ask but did you do the VI for Dentons?

Yep, I think it was. If I remember correctly, Jaysen mentioned that it would be posted in due course
