Simmons² PFO for London
Just annoyed they took this long, just honestly disrespectful of my time.

Post app ahahah applied a couple days before the deadline
Moments like this, I wish there was a secret order behind the scenes laying out the path for us to get TCs 😭😭😭😭😭😭
#Dune #BeneGessiret
just received mine now for London.
I guess they stagger them, for the sheer volume of FU they are sending out in one go.
3 PFOs today (Simmons, Pwc (both long overdue from October), and SPB.
my only response is like: why cant life let me get some offers from other firms ANYWaY when people around me are getting like 7 offers. im waiting for slaughters post ac and for travers to respond in general and I DO love those firms but surely if I was gonna get one id have gotten some others....
Squires PFO. Probably the most frustrating of the lot because the Open Day application asked more relevant questions than the VS application lol. I don't even remember doing an online assessment for squires either. How do they even assess you based off an essay question about social media regulation??
Has anyone heard anything from these firms who applied on or around these dates:
Sidley Spring or Summer post app (applied on or around the deadline so 8/9 Jan).
Orrick Summer post app (applied on deadline)
Freshfields DTC (post stage 2 sat in Dec/Jan).
Covington Summer post app (applied on deadline 16 Jan, seen ACs end of Jan but no PFOs).
I’m also waiting on Ropes and Travers but I think they don’t get back to us until end of Feb… 😀

nothing from sidley yet!
Sorry to hear this, when did you do your SJT+ VI? Just want to see if they are sending PFOs in order of applying
😭 I feel you haah
see that's what I feel rn, that surely because I was going to get one, surely I can get another one? but life works in weird ways haha
and I feel like ACs sometimes are not only given to you for success, but for practice or to teach you a lesson also
I'm just consoling myself thinking that this is God's way of keeping my time safe during Spring so I can actually study and not flop my exams as well as ensuring I don't become mentally insane doing back-to-back schemes right after exams end haha. Or maybe it's a way to tell you that that firm, and that firm only, is where you're supposed to be haha - it's definitely easier to make a decision about where to go when you only have one choice (as much as it's scary) 😂
no bc why does 90 seconds go so quick! feel like their questions were way too detailed for 90 seconds. how are you gonna give me a 3 part question with such little time to answer
Has anyone still not got a PFO for Simmons London? I find it unlikely that they’re holding more ACs since people have already received VS offers. But then why are they not sending out PFOs all at once? I don’t know if I’m delusional to hold out any hope
