    Lol I admire Black canary as she is lawyer by day and vigilante by night. I hope her advice to conglomerate and tech business would be appreciated by law firms sending me AC invite and TC offers this cycle 😭

    they weren't amazing - 6676 so I'm quite surprised
    I think that's the benchmark. I applied early in October and got 24, not hearing back. Did you remember how long did you answer each VI question? I remember I was answering each question around 90 seconds, maybe they expect more from me, like giving more examples instead of one though I use STAR
