Just received the Weil PFO email. I’m not that bummed out because it’s truly just me and the Willkie WE against the world now (along with other apps I’m waiting on).

It sucks but it’s only motivation for me to prepare harder and better for the WE. Good luck to everyone else !!

follow up question (forgive the ramble): do you guys reckon having work experience (and actively working) at the law firm you're applying to for a vac scheme give any meaningful advantage? (i.e. 6 months working [at a different office than the one you're applying to] while on a year abroad)

 

[LawAspirer]

Did they give u date when they’ll get back to u?

They said they'd get back by 22nd

Weil PFO. Fair play as the video interview was not that great

I think it doesn't matter, but it does give you advantage because you have worked at the firm, so you would know more about the firm, use that in interviews.

Hey @Jaysen how does someone go about deleting their accounts? Thanks 😄

 

[ellamai0]

Has anyone heard from Mayer Brown since the first wave of AC invites/PFOs?

 

[RSC2001]

May I also ask the (general) dates they do for the ACs?

I'm not sure, sorry. They release new dates all the time

it was much chiller than i anticipated! written exercise i found a bit difficult but my interviewers were both so lovely, the partner interview in particular was super conversational. wasn’t asked any out of the blue/super difficult questions either

thank you sm for replying hope it goes well for you!!!! x
