Hi I just had a quick Q as to coffee chat etiquette. Is it advisable to ask a partner for a coffee chat (given how particularly busy they are), or is it best to gear chats towards associates etc
It doesn’t matter what level they are, just be selective with how many people you ask and focus with a very small number of people you really want to connect with for clear reasons.

Lots of people ask too many people and then end up spending too much time away from their desk where they then can’t say no to people they asked.

Have people received second-stage invitations from Stephenson Harwood? Me and my friend emailed them asking if all second-stage invitations had been given out but we both did not receive a reply - kinda worrying because they've replied to every other of our emails sent to them but not about this.

Is it likely then that they have been and I should assume PFO?
