Hi! Any news from SH?
M
Nothing yet! It's been radio silence from them for so long 💔

Same! But I know people who have already had PFO's so that could be good news? What questions did they ask u on ur VI? I got asked why Sh, why law, talk about a business model I like, and talk about a time I worked with someone difficult on a team.

Wait are you talking about the spring VS? I applied for summer and haven't had a VI or heard anything since I submitted my initial application lol

Same...But I know 2 people who had PFO's already so that could be a good sign! What questions did they ask u on ur VI? I got asked why Sh, why law, talk about a business model I like, talk about a time i worked with someone difficult on a team.

Oh really? When did they hear back? Did you apply for Spring and Summer? I did, I’m wondering whether they may consider for both? My questions were: why this opportunity over others offered? what would you like to be known for among colleagues? How will the role of a trainee change in the next 5 years? What area can you improve on?

On Monday, they got emails. I applied for the summer. What about you? I believe they do because some people may not have a preference. Yeah, they gave everyone very different questions. Another person told me 4 different ones from ours.

Hey how reliable is this information about low associate salaries at White & Case and low morale and that the firm doesnt have a bright future. I have put it high on my list and if this is reliable, THANK YOU SO MUCH, looks liks I need to deprioritize it.

Hey,

I saw that you posted about the Penningtons AC. I have an invite to a virtual AC and wondering how to best prep for that format?

Would you be able to share any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hey,

Wondering how your Penningtons AC went? I got an invite for a virtual AC which I have never done before.

Could you give any info on tips to prep?

Thanks
L
Hi! Congrats for the AC, I really wouldn’t worry about it being virtual, if anything I found that nicer because you’re in the comfort of your own home and feels less pressurised. I’d recommend making sure you have a good internet connection etc and to have a list of experiences you can draw upon to demonstrate competencies. I’d also research the firm and the work it has done

Hi I hope you're well!

Do you have any insights/tips you could give on Willkie's VI since I noticed you did one last cycle? I totally understand if you don't want to get into the specifics of it. I was mostly wondering what the structure and timing was like and whether the questions mainly focus on my competencies and motivations or Willkie, its competitors and practices?

Thank you so much in advance!!

Hi, hope you're well!!

I just came across your post on last year's Willkie VI? I appreciate you may not want to discuss this or get into the specifics of the questions asked. I'm mostly wondering if it's more about knowing Willkie and its competitors or a certain practice area and specific terminology or more about competencies and my motivations? Any insight would be super appreciated!! :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!
