Anyone heard from Simmons for Bristol office?

 

[Shiv Lawy]

Anyone else waiting on Kirkland and Ellis from early December? No VI no holding email? Starting to think maybe I missed the boat

 

[anon78365222111]

Same, I wish they would just send it already, the waiting is awful

gutted about Weil tbf, I thought I done good on the VI, assuming a pfo

literally a tough one to take

 

[meredithgrey]

Anyone heard from HL post stage 2?

 

[tcla02]

ppl who got the weil AC did u get a specific date or was there a choice offered? trying to figure out if there’s a chance they’ll send out invites for another date tmrw clutching at straws atp

edit: just saw a recent post mentioning they send invites in one go so yep that’s that. it’s okay guys we’ll move on.

RPC Assessment - wonder what the eligibility criteria was because my answer was a 1 hour job not tailored to the firm at all

lol same!! Now I gotta lock in for the assessment so they don’t remember my weak application

 

[anon78365222111]

Getting put on a shortlist and getting the short end of that is so much worse than a straight up PFO

 

[nbjani]

Phone call from a delivery driver really had my hopes up for a sec even though I fully know there’s no way a firm was going to call me within 4 hours of finishing an AC

 

[nbjani]

pg

Is this for spring vac if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m not gonna lie I don’t even know at this stage sorry! I even tried looking for it but it just says vacation scheme

 

[Legalfreak212]

anyone know how long to answer CMS VI questions, and how many Qs there are? Would appreciate any insights!

1 minute each, and i think 5 or 6 questions. Good luck!

 

[tjeya26]

Is there a requirement for the Osborne Clarke online test to also be finished before the deadline?

I would like to know this too please!

 

[ladyhaleinthehouse]

Has anyone heard anything from baker mckenzie this week for the spring scheme ?/ do you think it is sensible to just assume a PFO? The waiting is so painful
