Has anyone who is waiting heard from PMC post-app? I'm assuming a rejection given that I thought ACs were being conducted until the end of Feb

Haha thank you!
I found out this afternoon that I was successful. I also know that people were getting offers as far back as January so definitely don’t lose hope 🙂

[fcac98]

For those of you who have done assessment centres and had to do written assessments, how did you prepare? Did you buy any guidance books? Any advice would be appreciated!

 

[VacSchemer]

When did NRF manage to get back to people with login details for their assessment day platform?

 

[Amakaa]

What time did you receive?

Afternoon

I was nervous as I’d never interviewed at a US firm before, but they were super super lovely and I wasn’t caught out by any of the questions! I’m sure you’ll do great

How was your interview? Was it competency-based or a case study? Also, how was the written exercise? I'm unsure which package to buy from TCLA!

literally a minute ago- after i sent an email where i was literally like 'am i no longer being considered for this role?' 😅😂

 

[yeezyee]

anyone still waiting for latham?

 

[Miss Chocolate]

Mishcon VI I deffo effed up. I don't know why I even checked the message from my viewing organiser to find out they have signed the contract for someone else and i wanted the place 😭😭 Only have myself to blame. I probably came across as a depressed potato. Oh well. Reject me based on 3 minutes of rambling and ignore the hours I spent on the application form xx

Finally after almost 6 weeks of waiting Travers Smith PFO. For reference, I applied very close to the deadline I think maybe 1-2 days before. 🥲

I almost missed it entirely because it was hidden amongst a bunch of TCLA notifications lmao. It got sent at around 5pm today. 🥲​
