Hi everyone, I’m getting lots and lots of dms re the Sidley process and thought it might be easier for everyone if I just shed some light here.
Their process is an application form, phone interview with HR (they don’t make this publicly known for some reason) and then a final in person partner interview. Both interviews are largely only competency and don’t deviate from any normal interview for a city firm.
In relation to if invites/offers are released in batches … I obviously have no idea. People on here were getting invited to phone interviews a week after deadlines closed, and I got invited after 3 weeks. People got offers for the vac at the end of September, and I got mine at the end of October. From my perspective, Sidley are a firm that lives up to their ‘rolling’ nature - so idk if it’s better or worse that you applied a month before or on the day of … I applied day of and obviously suffered no detriment for this.
Yes their conversion rates are low (ish) (about 35% for my vac) but I fear this is now the reality of vac schemes at us firms … and yes for those asking there are several assessments on the vac and i obviously have no idea on which portion of the vac (or indeed the interview for the vac) matters more than others. My feedback call focused primarily on the work I did as a reason for the tc offer, and it offered little insight into what actually mattered to the firm - so I sadly won’t be able to offer insight to this.
I hope this helps people and sheds some insights into the process and my dms certainly do remain open to anyone with specific questions!

I honestly have the same happen to me every timeWeil PFO
I don't know about others but in this application cycle every VI I think I did well in I flopped, and the ones I thought I royally messed up I got ACs for. Same with my self-proclaimed 'good' applications getting rejected vs ones I didn't think were that good getting next stages. What is that about !

Sorry to hear this! Luck for certain. I reckon you were in the maybe pile so you were good enough just not a lot of spaces that's an achievement. I've still not heard backWeil PFO

How bad is an amberjack score of 20 (for Reed Smith). It’s a shame, because my VI went well. And I genuinely did think my SJT performance was decent.
