anyone heard from bakers post ac

 

[lawstudent2]

anyone know when we are supposed to hear back from mishcon post sjt for summer?

 

[Dogecoin GC]

omfg Goodwin AC!!!!

if they're still giving out ACs, why not Willkie?

 

[Eudora]

anyone know if addleshaw goddard will be issuing any further acs? did my vi on 17 jan

 

[Dannie]

is cleary gonna do more acs?

 

[Myparentsdream]

if they're still giving out ACs, why not Willkie?

Because Willkie like to keep people waiting - professional torture. Interviews start next week for 2 weeks.
Unless they gave those who got invites yesterday, next week slots only (which I doubt) the games gone my friend.
I might start suing firms like that girl did clyde & co 😭

 

[emma_annom]

Does anyone know when we are likely to hear back from Farrer post proofreading test?

 

[Gabri3l]

Would anyone have any insight into the Proskauer AC by any chance ?

 

[Rosie_Kitten]

just took one for the team and emailed clyde about a timeline for hearing back

I appreciate it. I hope they don't take it the wrong way, as they gave a rough timeline in their last email (although I guarantee the timeline they gave is inaccurate based on dates, they perhaps gave the timeline hoping people wouldn't email about it).

Any update on whether Latham has started giving out ACs for SVS?

I wish they gave us feedback. It's not easy to put so much effort in and not even know what you did wrong 😭

'Future Trainee Solicitor'
'Future nothing'
(delete as appropriate)

I had both of these typed in my phone.

I was waiting to hear back from a law firm after a bumpy Vac Scheme.

It was sort of obvious it hadn't gone well.

But 'future nothing' if you don't get one of a handful of jobs at a law firm?

Well, yes, that's how it seemed at the time.

Not now of course, but back in January 2021, as had been the case for the preceding three years, I hitched my sense of self-worth to a two letter acronym - TC, or Training Contract, if you prefer.

Now those letters have quite a different meaning:

Take control
Tutoring career
Take care
Tailor-made career

Etc etc.

It's easier to 'make it' in life without a Training Contract than you might thin

Wait is this tintin09 making a come back😍😍😍

(I saw your Linkedin)

 

[lawyersum]

[Bread]

[ttso]

Morgan Lewis TI, would appreciate any and all insights!

I heard last year they gave feedback to some people post WE but I didn't get feedback sigh

It'll be the same excuse 'competition was high' just tell me straight did I write a load of utter waffle or was a on the cusp of making it but you didn't have enough interview slots. If people are good enough and talent is important make more slots... lots of firms do it.

Welcome back TinTin09!!!!!! I have thought about you from time to time, glad you’re doing well 🙏🙏🙏

 

[TCGrad1642]

Anyyy chance you’ve heard back from Mishcon yet?

Not at all

 

[Unknowncabbage]

Any update on whether Latham has started giving out ACs for SVS?

They've already given them all out, if I remember correctly. The last AC's are next week.

 

[Unknowncabbage]

Have ppl who did Latham AC last week heard back?
