- any news from Debevoise?

Don’t believe anyone has heard anything from PW… I could be incorrect though!

If a firm says they are CV-blind, at interview can I not mention my university eg I am part of a society and it slips out?

Anyone heard from Goodwin post vi?

Got a PFO post app in early Jan so no news might be good news

Was that post VI?

Was that post VI?

reading is fundamental guys. simple things like this are tested on assessment centers and written exercises.

saw that a few people heard back a couple of weeks ago for interviews and apparently they were for this week. but vie seen no pfo's so not too sure what to think

Can you not read properly they said post app

Well when they reply to someone who asked about a VI then it’s pretty safe to assume that it could be post VI🙂also not having to comment on everything is fundamental to assessment centres and written exercises

Idk what happened to this forum and how toxic it’s become you guys love to comment on everything. They literally replied to someone who asked about post VI so it would be reasonable to assume it was something similar. Find something better to do than comment on things that you’re not even mentioned in
