I was wondering if anyone has done the Mayer Brown job simulation exercise/would be able to share their experience? I have just received an invite so any tips/insight would be super helpful
does anyone have any insight on the mayer brown job sim, eg. how many questions are there, what types of questions, how much time do you get to prepare for the video interview questions

Congratulations on reaching the next stage! When did you do the automatic test and when did you get the job simulation invite?

Sent a chaser email to Milbank asking when we should expect to get AC feedback. Received an extremely generic post-app rejection style email in response. Really disappointing, especially since they came across so well on the day of the AC.
As in you were already rejected and asking for feedback or you asked for an update and they sent a rejection? That’s so disappointing either way and frankly, I haven’t found their graduate recruitment particularly nice either

    Asked for an update and they sent me a rejection email. Admittedly, I had already accepted that it was probably a PFO because people had already been given offers around 2 weeks ago but some feedback would have been nice.
