Does anyone know what score Mishcon requires for the online assessment, and whether they're assessing just that now or also the chat interview, or whether the chat interview was assessed before sending out the online assessment?

Congrats!! Do you have any tips for the partner interview? I got invited today and I have mine on Friday

honestly was pretty typical stuff and was very friendly i thought i was chatting and laughing throughout so i wouldn’t over think i was defo underprepared in terms of commercial awareness stuff bur still did okay so don’t stress

Is this post app or test ?

How do firms use the Watson Glaser? Do they use a benchmark or a ranking system? It’s very confusing.

Has anyone had their mofo second stage interview yet?

I think there were three (might’ve been four a few hours ago) slots to chose from early next week
