Amberjack is the SJT.
You mean you haven't done the chat based interview yet and received the invite for the SJT/amberjack assessment?

Just standard WE, for someone who did TW & Skadden's WE, they said it was pretty standard compared to those.
Yeah if you have question about SH just DM me! I'll be attending their OD in January.
So does that mean everyone who did the AI interview got shortlisted for the SJT? Because that’s insane you didn’t even do the AI interview.
Yes, my bad. I corrected my original post.

So makes me thing MISHCON AI interview isn’t that heavily weighted?
Lol no clue... I'm hoping it isn't a mistake and it's an early christmas present, but it most definitely is something that has gone wrong
Maybe they realised the chat based interview was a complete flop and they’ve decided to bin it and so now they’re gna use their amberjack to do all the filtering work for them. Baso yous were made to do that AI assessment for nothing? Idk that’s what seems to be the case with this. I do rem seeing ppl post that Mishcon were trialling the AI thing and grad rec said it at one of their open days I’d gone to.
Someone definitely was meant to press reject on my application but pressed Stage 2 instead 🤣
If that’s the case that’s kinda nuts.. I spent almost 2 hours or more haha
Any insights to the Mayer Brown test?
How about we just set up our own firm? TCLA LLP has a nice ring to it. @Jaysen as Managing Partner, @Abbie Whitlock and @Andrei Radu as Senior Partners, and the rest of the community as trainees and a mix of associates depending on rankings in the forum.
A neat little international law firm specialising in Private Equity 🥹🥹

Anyone applied for DWF ethnic minority and social mobility scheme? Never heard of it but thought I’d chuck an app in
Same 😭 I’m thinking they may have used us to test the chat based interview and will use our responses to evaluate it, but the real filtering will be done by the SJT. So I’m guessing all or almost all of us received it lol
Hm I don’t agree. It seems counterintuitive to bin an assessment and progress everyone to the next stage. It would also require more work for GR
They were proper SELLING it saying it's to stop people from cheating. At one open day they said it's because people would do VIs and a different person would show up to assessments. Then when i went to the GROW insight day they changed the story and said this happened at a consulting firm...
Idk cos nobody knows whether every applicant received the AI test (not every applicant is here on TCLA), so what if only 25% of yous got the AI test and grad rec just decided that reviewing them all individually was simply time consuming? Lowkey makes sense cos some ppl have said they spent hours on their AI interview thing. So now there are people who either (i) didn’t receive the AI online test, (ii) received it but didn’t take it yet have been sent the SJT and/or (iii) took the AI test and have now also been sent the SJT. This would make sense but it’s all speculation tbf.
