How long has it taken for people to hear back from Dechert, following the VI and Written Exercise?

 

[lawstudent15]

Can anyone provide insight into White & Case VI? Didnt see the invite until today and only have a day to prepare >.<

Anyone heard from Taylor Wessing post AC? Thumbs up for yes, down for no

Same! Congrats. Do you know how they recruit for TCs? In my interview they did mention we still have to go through a normal AC for a TC, but on their website it says we are assessed on the VC. Slightly confusing.

Hey congratulations!! Yeah I was a bit confused too but I think it’s definitely an AC rather than being assessed on the VS. Where will you be based?

Just curious did everyone who complete NRF arctic shores receive the follow-up email about adjustments?

Yes strangely worded. Have we all done so poorly on the Arctic Shores they assume we needed adjustments 🤣

Seriously I just think it's a poorly worded email but also a reminder to ask for adjustments if you need them at later stages for the process.

I got it too! Not the kind of notification I expected to make me skip a beat today 🫢

People that got accepted to Withers Interview/AC stage, which skills came out on top or did you not do so well in for the Cappfinity test?

Thanks!

I’m still waiting to hear but my top skills were detail and learning agility. I believe my “weakest” strength was initiative but that’s because I answered with their “collaborative”/teamwork culture in mind. What about you?

 

[Lawyer500]

Did everyone get this email or was this in response to something you asked? Sorry if I’m being silly I can’t tell if I have missed an email🤣

I didn’t get the email and I completed the VI

 

[johnnn821]

Anything from Greenberg Traurig?

WFW PFO post-VI, I probably shouldn’t have rejected their Open Day offer 👀

Same 🤣

I got a response at start of Feb saying we should be getting responses towards mid/end Feb.

Weird, I thought they are interviewing everyone who applied by the end of Feb.

Hi @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker, if you know that you’ve been offered a place at a firm because they rang you but they haven’t sent the offer letter in over 2 weeks - should I send a follow-up email/ring them? I have received another offer since and there is a small chance that the placements could clash if I don’t get my preferred choice of dates.

Thank you so much!!

Me too - I don’t think we should worry too much as I know some people did VI in like November lol so I think it’s a matter of working through applicants

hellooo, i have mine with them on the 14th March, and it was the last AC date so probably would make sense everyone hears back at the same time? Maybe this eases your mind a little haha ... How many people were on your AC if you dont mind me asking? Hoping it went all ok 🙏

Last years valentines day I got a vi invite from wc. This year they gave me a pfo.
They must love valentines day or sth 😂

Anyone heard back from Shearman since applying?
