Irwin Mitchell - placement London. Is it just me, but still haven’t heard back after my (bombed out) VI. Is anyone else waiting to hear? Do I assume too bad to even respond?

3 cycles later and a Burges Salmon Vacation scheme offer!

Congratulations! How was your AC? Are there any specific things you did that you think ticked their boxes? I did an AC and didn’t get it even though I thought I did well

Hi,

I had an interview with Withers exactly 2 weeks ago today for the spring vac scheme. At the end of the interview, they said they aim to respond to all applicants within 2 weeks. As I haven't heard back yet, should I assume it's a rejection?

 

[ohnoselim]

yep...

hopefully monday you'll hear some good news!!

 

[Farhan65756]

Yes, they told me in the email
If someone declines their placement, I’ll be invited

Yeah I was told the same

I had my AC on Monday, heard back yesterday afternoon via email!

 

[Heartofglass]

For those who got no VS this year, are you planning to apply to direct TC? Thanks

Hill Dickinson assessment invite! Was waiting forever for that one. Does anyone have any advice for an Amberjack assessment? It is my first time doing one and from what I have read on this forum, I should be wary of it

Please let me know if you get any advice on it

 

[CorporateCrocodile]

congrats! Can I ask when you did your ac?

Monday at 11! I reckon they will send another batch of invites next Wednesday because they will wait to see if someone cannot make it / doesn’t confirm their place.

For Spring applicants, how long did it take to hear back from Dechert (post VI and WE) and Bakers (post VI)?

I did the Dechert VI mid Feb
Bakers VI last week

Both for Summer
