Hi, does anyone know if the White & Case open days are virtual or physical this year?

Interview invite for Sidley! Any tips would be appreciated as they haven't given any info on the email

Congrats! Is this for the winter VS?

Has anyone had a rejection from Sidley yet? Do they tend to give those at the end, or as they read through applications?

I have yet to be invited or rejected to Sidley WVS.

I received an invite to interview about a week after applying, scheduled in for the start of the next week and PFO yesterday morning. So from application to rejection at final interview in about 2 weeks 🤣

Is this for the open day or vac scheme?

 

[Adrian_S]

Is this for the open day or vac scheme?

it’s likely for the vac scheme as they don’t have interviews for open days

 

[futuretraineecity]

Is this for the open day or vac scheme?

For the winter vs!

 

[mariistm]

how might someone go about answering what the real difference between US and UK firms are?

Do you mean in terms of TC? If it is so, US firms' intakes are usually smaller, they are more corporate-focused, training is less formal and they usually welcome candidates with different backgrounds.

Anyone heard back from Clyde for the winter VS?
