Yes, certainly! However I personally find that interviews with a real person are more natural anyway and standing in one place for longer than 30 mins starts to get a bit tiresome for me xD

Anyone heard from DWF post app for London VS yet?
@Jessica Booker how do you recommend alerting firms about vacation scheme offers from other firms? I'm in the recruitment process for a firm that has no set dates for their summer vacation scheme (though they're usually around the same time as others), but I've received an offer from another firm with set dates. I don't want to come across as presumptuous, as there's one more stage to go, but I'd like to let them know just in case.
Additionally, some firms I've applied to have allowed me to select a preference for spring, but should I let them know I have a summer VS just to confirm whether I can guarantee a spring space?

I got one on Friday - I would say hold out for it. With mishcon they were giving offers out in November and I got one two weeks ago. I think they said they’d get back to everyone by end of Feb
Just did the Pinsent Masons AC - was quite an enjoyable one and the interviewer was quite lovely. The in-tray exercise was time quite pressured though I can't lie lol. Anyone that's done it feel free to DM me (especially those that knew when we can expect to hear back) 
Does Irwin Mitchell remember us 😭
i literally just want them to put me out of my misery because those VI questions were brutal 😭
Anyone know the main differences between MoFo and Shearman? As I know they are competitors..
I am quite interested in finance regulatory work, is MoFo better for this?
@axelbeugre - do you have thoughts on this? 😊

Can anyone give any insights into the WBD blended assessment? Can you do the first half and then do the VI on a different day for example?
Emailed AG and got this back last week! (London office) starting to think it’s a PfO they’ve done a few AC’s now!
Has anyone received any feedback from shoosmiths?

I personally do not know but I am sure you will be able to find something online. What I knew was that MoFo was very tech and life sciences regulatory heavy but that is everything I know, whereas Shearman is very finance, leveraged finance heavy. Again, a thorough research on both might give you a better understanding of their differences.
Speaking of Shearman, has anyone received AC from them at all?
Are there anyone still waiting for Latham Summer VS post-app. It's just so cruel to make ppl wait like this even though they said they would get back by the end of Jan

Most law firms do and they will have articles on their websites. Additionally, I would look at law firms' LinkedIn pages as those will sometimes repost these kind of reports. Alternatively, following lawyers and partners in corporate/capital markets or even ESG departments from the law firms you are interested in.
