[seferiades]

Anyone still waiting/know how long W&C usually take post VI?

I'm still waiting too /: hoping it's bc they've tried to sort out spring vs first and will deal with the summer batch later

I received PFO yesterday, I hope you guys will succeed in getting a VC from this firm.

when did you apply?

Anyone heard back from Bakers after a Spring AC? Ik they said end of next week, but I'm wondering if they had called anyone, as I'm aware some interviewers at some firms do that if you're a dead cert.

Thank you! It’s all very exciting.

I received an email this morning.

CRS SVS offer - still slightly in shock right now, thank you so much to this forum!

Congrats!! That’s awesome! Do you mind me asking when you did your CRS VI? did mine 7/2 and still waiting. Are others still yet to hear?

Anyone else feeling like a fraud or like you won't know how to say anything right or just generally feel like they may mess up in the AC/interview? I will obviously prepare well beforehand but I can't help feel like they are looking for someone with like 99% commercial awareness/technical knowledge. Me on the other hand, I have like 10% commercial awareness and I can't even remember anything from contract.

Bristows better not ask me questions about my modules because I have the most horrible memory ever 😭 I just feel like they are looking for someone whose general knowledge is AMAZING and I barely have time to read the news these days-

I think just know when you are in any kind of AC/interview setting, every candidate feels exactly the same way. I think it’s just classic imposter syndrome and we doubt ourselves and don’t see our strengths as readily as we see our flaws. That and anxiety spotlight, where you feel like there’s a glowing spotlight on you and your flaws, when no one else notices the small mistakes we all make. Just remind yourself you deserve to be at the table and everyone has weaknesses, that’s why we work in teams, so we can draw on one another’s strengths and improve!

If you’re still in university then I know a lot of universities actually buy a subscription for students to use

This is for the summer vac scheme. I applied for the spring vac scheme, but they’ve advised that there no longer is a spring vac scheme and it’s just summer, so my app was transferred to that

Has anyone done a Baker McKenzie AC before ? Please PM me

 

[LillyandSilver]

Anyone else really bad at maths? I genuinely think it's a phenomena that most law students I meet can't do maths and yet a firm I was thinking about applying to says they now require a numerical reasoning test alongside the verbal. 😭
