Hey, I did the online assessment last year. It was answering questions on a timed video. There is a practice one you can do linked on the email that was sent out!

Congrats and good luck!

Heyy, do we have unlimited prep time for the VI questions? Or what's the prep time/delivery time? I cannot find anything online. Also, are they competency-based or strengths-based?🥺 Sorry for so many questions and thank you for your help!

The prep will be untimed. It always is for first stage VIs

Does anyone have any insight into the Milbank AC? Glassdoor isn't very helpful except for one intimidating review

Hey! When did you receive the invite?

They probably don't send out all AC invites at once

 

[EquityTraineeGPT]

did anyone who filled in the TW AC form get a confirmation email yet??

 

[bella98]

Hey!

It’s unlimited prep time. So you can see the questions and then click start recording when you’re ready. Off the top of my head (if I am remembering correctly) you get 2 retries per question.

It was a mix of competency and strength based but it’s definitely more of a ‘getting you know you’ as a person exercise and then it focuses more on your skills in the AC.
Definitely do the practice VI on the email it really helped me and just be yourself!

If you have any more questions please feel free to message me! Good luck and congratulations 🎉

Thank you so much🤩🤩

Not sure. I still haven’t heard from them, I got the holding email too. Maybe can someone who has received a PFO from Latham today confirm if they received the holding email before?

no holding email for me

 

[Happycloud100]

[manifestingtrainingcontract]

[Victor87]

Hi guys, has anyone that applied for W&C spring &/or summer vacation scheme around Jan heard back (VI invite or PFO) ?

 

[BM99]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Have my fellow Scots received any updates from any of their applications to Scottish firms/offices so far?

The waiting game kills me so if anyone has any insight of firms up here from grad rec, previous cycles etc. it's all good info

I just heard back from Burness Paull; got an AC invitation. This will be my first one so I am absolutely bricking it hahaha.

Or a fresh wave of AC invites! Could swing either way!’

 

[Rododindron]

Does anyone know when Weil is supposed to get back to us after the VI?
