Hey! Congratulations on the AC! When did you hear post-app?

i got it too, nothing for now

the email says they are viewing assessments. So may be they are currently viewing them on rolling basis.

if interviewers said they would get back to you on friday / start of this week shall we take this as a PFO? or should we get in contact with them?

Can someone who's done the Mishcon interview please share any tips? Or message me 😘

 

[Eleanor]

Mishcon VI! any insight on timing or types of qs?

When does a typical application cycle start/end?

for vacation schemes, the cycle typically opens in September and ends in early February (with assessment centres continuing into march)

 

[futuretrainee2025]

for those with a w&c spring ac, how long did it take to hear back after vi? its been like 2 weeks now so just want a rough idea lol. usually late news after a vi is a pfo for me but I could be wrong

Anyone got invited to video interview or AC for W&C summer vac?

Have done VI but not heard since

There's a German bloke on YouTube who tells you what you can expect in the test and goes through tips for each one.

Hey does anyone know whats the name of their youtube channel?

Can somebody shed some light on what Mayer Brown’s tests are like? Coz in the email they mentioned an SJT and a VR. The practice link takes you to Cappfinity and they have “Online – Behavioural Assessments” and “Online – Cognitive Assessments” which I’m guessing is the equivalent, but they also mention a written exercise and VI for the SJT part???

My friend found out the next day after an AC after checking her application portal.

The initial tests are just an SJT and VR (automatic). Then after your application has been reviewed with those test scores, you could be invited to do the job simulation which has SJT, VI and written elements

How long did it take for you guys to get your Mayer Brown report after the SJt and VR test?

2 days

Its not necessarily a PFO, but I wouldn't rush to contact them either. Sometimes these things take longer than expected.

If you haven't heard anything by Friday or even Monday next week, then contact them.
