Happy Wednesday I guess..? Begone “Unfortunately” and come forth “Congratulations” / “Next steps”

That makes sense to me, logically speaking. This waiting period is really turning us into conspiracy theorists.

I think there’s got to be something going on at the firm internally that is preventing the grad rec team from sending off these emails. I think they’ll reschedule the 9th.

The wait for this Bakers AC feels like some hunger games on this forumnot sure if a firm has had this much attention at once

I might just be going crazy but I can't seem to find Hogan Lovells EC email address. Can anyone help???

I agree, a 9th AC now would be pretty crazy honestly.

Grad rec vs partners fighting over when to send out ACs. Who’s gna win? I think it’ll be grad rec…

I haven’t even applied to Bakers and I’m acc super invested in this entire conspiracy theory now too…​

If you get reasonable adjustments is this held against you, especially if its a permanent condition, are they less likely to hire you?

Baker McKenzie 25/26 lore top 10 TCLA threads?

 

[jamsparkle]

IDEK if it was Milbank? It was something called Shortlister Support which i'm assuming is their provider? IDEK but the idea of that is v funny lmaoo

i think these technical support teams are often run by the assessment providers and they often outsource these technical support teams to India etc with a different time zone

is it too late to apply for sidley… i have exams coming up so i don’t wanna waste time if it’s not worth it

I think Sidley is one of those firms that despite being rolling, review every app received by the deadline. I recall someone getting an interview for winter that applied on the last day

Any insight on white case's vi? I can exchange with Goodwin's vi questions.

Congratulations is this for spring or summer please.
