2nd october, completed stage 2 on 25th october
Omg I love that, none of my friends like restructuring haha And also congrats!! I applied on the 22nd so hopefully it won't be a super long wait. Good luck with both Weil and Akin!!
I thought adding the brief example was optional and candidates who don't add it aren't marked down for it.
Yep I thought so as well, and I never added examples, but idk that's what the feedback said. I don't think you'd necessarily be marked down but maybe it just comes across as a more well-rounded answer? And i kinda get the point that it adds credibility. I think the approach probably varies between recruiters, so I now aim to add just two short lines at the end of my answer just in case
This is my biggest gripe with VIs becoming standard. Law firms take for granted how hard it can be when you're with your family to find a quiet space

one time I contemplated whether I should carry my laptop out to the fields so I could just do it in 10 mins and head back
On the topic, any ac news from Weil?I relate to this as someone with 3 young brothers who cannot be quiet for longer than 2-3 mins. In my Weil VI, I had to give grad rec the heads up that there’d probs be background noise. It didn’t help that my neighbours had decided to begin house renovations at the same time either. So there was a lot of banging and drilling sounds echoing in the background lmao. They said it was totally fine and seeing I haven’t received an auto PFO just yet they probs weren’t bothered. From their end it probs sounded like this:
Sorry I meant to reply to the post above yours mb hahaAre you asking me?
If you're asking me, no not yet

Just went back to check the feedback from my DTC pfo and you're right, it says exactly that. I can't remember if I referenced anything specific in those. Hoping my motivational one where I referenced similar behaviours through specific examples balances it out in terms of credibility.
