I was concerned as you received an answer within 3 days, and I am on the 3rd day of waiting. Maybe I am being impatient 😂

Is Jones Day the only firm that have given out interviews so far?

hey guys just progressed to second assessment stage for Macfarlanes (job simulation), do you think this means I passed the SJT and the initial paper sift, or is it automatic? The website seems to imply the former, but the speed at which I got the second assessment and the responses on here seem to indicate the latter haha. And also, any tips because, as I understand, this is a new part of their application process?

Does anybody know if Ashurst review all applications along with their online test score or do they still only review apps which pass their assessment benchmark?
