Shoosmiths PFO for the placement🥹 but at least they will still consider my app for a TC..
The email said
“As you have also applied for a training contract, I will be in touch with you about the outcome of that application in April/May.”

Is it normal for people to ghost you like that on Linkedin? Since getting the Mishcon AC I've sent a lot of messages to people who got the spring vacation scheme to find out more about the assessment centre etc. NO ONE REPLIED. 😭

It’s not normal. But people don’t reply because they see you as potential competition and also because they’d rather provide tips to someone they are friends with. I know a case of 3 people getting a vac scheme at the same place. They all went to the same uni. The first one interviewed and then shared pretty much everything from the AC with the remaining three.
However, there are many reasons why people don’t reply. Eventually, some nice person will reply so there are people who are genuinely nice!

this might sound a bit cold, but maybe for them there simply is no incentive to respond to a total stranger asking them for advice? i can empathise with you that it feels really disheartening, but this can be the nature of cold calling/messaging on linkedin across all industries
its infuriating! I got my PM AC and this trainee fully read my message and aired me 😭
i think at least 6 people have ignored me even grad rec from Jones Day but she connected with me 💀
Trainees are very busy, I wouldn’t take it personally.
Ignoring you after connecting with you is brazy icl 😭
I learned my lesson with trainees and understood that they would not reply. I get it, they're busy. That's why this time I contacted STUDENTS who got the vac scheme
Like c'mon - how busy can you be? Especially since they viewed my message and are online most of the time...
Same with those people I'm talking about - they all accepted my connection request but they're ghosting me. Hope they are thinking about the tips they want to give me lol
