For everyone waiting on Mayer Brown - I just got a job simulation invite!

yes, this is still classified as an "overrepresentation" regardless of it being slight?

but isn't overrepresentation great for everyone because it helps to correct historical bad stuff in society? do you really not think we should at least have quotas to balance out the population at partner level??!?

Nice what scores did you have re. average/above average?

Not really because you

1. can't punish people for the sins of their fathers
2. don't know the exact amount to correct by - overcorrection is still discrimination

I had above average in four sections and average in the fifth!

Hi how did you find out your scores?

 

[NotLord Denning]

They should email them to you circa a day after you take the first test

ok odd then. Did it on the 7th and haven't received anything

1. many groups were punished for things much worse than daddy's sins
2. sometimes you have to overcorrectify daddy to make things better.

I agree, but shouldn't we have some sort of social credit system too so we can keep track of who is behaving correctly?

It was two days before I got the report when I did the test, and it came pretty late in the evening.

That doesn't make it ok for you to discriminate back against them

only if we can sanction the wrongdoers 1000-7

I am reposting this again. Please any insights.
What does it mean when a GR member views your linkedin profile after an AC ? Is it common for every candidature review or is it a good sign ?
Thanks.

Maybe you mentioned an experience not on your initial app? I would take it as they're looking at some info on you

1. yea would be nice; why don't we cancel gov debt levels while we are at it, since our 'fathers' are responsible for that too. I'll tell Rishi :')

Congrats! I've got a feeling my two above average and three average is unlikely to be successful

I recently did a vac scheme that I didn't convert (worked so so hard during it), and now have one coming up in Spring but am scared the same's gonna happen

YES QUEEN. no responsibility for daddy = no responsibility for daddy. no means no.

I mean that you can't punish your peers when they have done nothing to you for something that their ancestors did to your ancestors. How would even begin to calculate wrongness then?

 

[billyonthespeeddial]

without commenting on the debate itself, I'm just enjoying the fact that there is now someone named Lord Denning in this forum reasoning exactly like Lord Denning

 

[yasmars]

yeah and ngl the comment "pale, male and stale" is a little offensive. Would not make a comment like this about other groups in regards to a diff profession.

There is also an overrepresentation of some minorities and women in a lot of firms.

Which firms have an over representation of minorities? This is something new.
