Baker McKenzie Summer VS offer

Oh my god!!!!! I got the baker svs!!! I can’t believe it, I simply can’t believe it!

Congrats to you both! It’s a really great scheme, enjoy!

They've obviously departed from that and added a written assessment onto the end. To be fair it was only a week or so ago that the WE came out but they've moved fairly quickly so far. I guess it takes a good while to read through a load of written assessment answers though.

can you please share how the VI is like? is it competency/motivational/situation based?? any tips on how to prepare?

what would count as one application window. If i applied to ashurst dtc now and didn't get through, could i apply to a vac scheme when it opens later in august? I'd think those are separate ?

Yea they did say 20th I don’t know if I should count not receiving an invite to the AC as a rejection

[helenaskelton]

Hey guys! I have an AC coming up with Katten tomorrow. Just wondering whether anyone has had one in previous years and what it was like / what the video interview was like after. I can share insights for faegre interview, Sidley AC, SPB VI and more if anyone would be willing to help!

 

[Winter]

Has anyone who has not received Baker VS offer been sent a rejection email yet? Please drop a like if you received this and a dislike if not.

[DennyCrane]

can you share what it was like please?

I suspect you're likely to get limited responses to this however many times you ask. The only people who will know will be your direct competitors and the firms generally ask that you don't share interview questions.
