Has anyone heard back from Ashurst post-AC?

 

[Aga123+]

Hi @Jessica Booker - I have an AC on Monday Morning (in-person) but I'm not feeling well atm. Would it be best to let the firm know now or wait it out over the weekend? I don't want to miss out on doing the AC but I also don't think it fair to GR if I cancel at the last minute...

I would email today or tomorrow as you also need to give them time to reply and reschedule if possible, the later you do this, the later it will be harder for them to do in my opinion.

Anyone who has applied for Northridge, have you heard anything yet? Or people who did in prior years when was post app results communicated?

@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre and anyone else that could offer advice:

I've been lucky enough to receive vacation schemes at both Skadden and Weil. I've already booked my spring scheme for Skadden and found out today that I got on the Weil spring scheme.

The GR at Weil told me that they could move me to summer, but they would prefer it if I completed the Spring scheme; because of this, I am considering asking Skadden if I could be moved to a summer scheme.

How do I go about asking Skadden if I could potentially be moved from the Spring scheme to a Summer one?

These are both firms that I am highly interested in, but want to ensure that I am not negatively interacting with the firms/they understand that I am not choosing one over the other.

Do let me know and I appreciate any advice anyone has <3

Congratulations!

IMO Weil have already revealed their hand stating they could move you to the summer scheme. Assuming you've told them it's because it clashes with your VS offer from another firm they are OK with it. In the meantime, Skadden are none the wiser.

Personally I would keep it that way and give myself two shots at converting a VS to TC, especially given that you're interested in both firms. That's just what I would do. Good luck!

Anyone heard post-AC for Weil's summer scheme?

Hey!! Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think its based on summer/spring - it's based on the date you finished your in-tray exercise. I completed mine on 12th and received the offer today.

Hi! I am in this exact position, well I was recently, and I think you should email Weil and be really really nice and I am sure they will let you (BUT I would email really quickly in case someone else gets in first and fills it. I also do not think i it will reflect on you badly if you say you have a scheme that clashes; if anything it makes you look more desirable and they know people apply to lots of places!!

 

[trainingcontract]

Basically they asked situation based questions, numerical and verbal questions and video interview questions as far as I remember

How many VI questions were there? Thanks!

 

[Kenomy]

Hey @trackstar1364,

First of all congratulations on securing both vacation schemes, those are amazing firms and you should be so proud of you!

Since you already asked Weil, I would just ask them to move you as if they did not want to move you they would have said it but they confirmed that they would do it regardless of how they might feel. I am sure it is fine to move as it happens all the time. That is what I would do personally.

Congratulations once again and good luck with the schemes!

@trackstar1364 I totally agree with this too!
