Message: <blockquote data-quote="RasAlGhul" data-source="post: 228784" data-attributes="member: 43454">Congrats, that’s a really strong position to be in.For transparency, I passed Weil's assessments, so I’ll share what I found actually mattered at each stage.The SJT is much more about judgment and commercial common sense than legal knowledge. What helped me was constantly asking:What’s the most sensible outcome for the client?What protects the firm’s reputation and manages risk?What would a good junior actually do in this situation?Avoid extreme answers. Weil doesn’t want someone who escalates everything, but they also don’t want you acting independently when it’s inappropriate. The strongest answers usually involve prioritising, communicating clearly, and taking responsibility while knowing when to loop someone in.The VI was intense but fair. A huge focus was on:Why Weil - not just “US firm” or “high-quality work”, but why this platform, this culture, and this type of responsibility appeals to youCommercial thinking - they cared much more about how I reasoned through issues than whether I landed on a “perfect” answerSelf-awareness - they were genuinely interested in whether I understood the pace and pressure and had actively chosen itOne thing I think helped was being honest about the intensity of Weil and framing it as something I’m drawn to, rather than trying to downplay it or pretend it’s for everyone.Happy to answer specific questions if you have them, and best of luck.</blockquote>
