Has anyone here applied to Withers in this application cycle? Or has applied previously and reached the interview stage? Pls reply to this or react with a thumbs-up.
Hello, has anyone emailed Stephenson Harwood grad rec about when they will roughly come back to us post case study and mind sharing what grad rec said - don't want to bombard them with update request if they've sent someone a date or update on when they will respond to us.
(Equally if no one has asked I'm happy to email, as a month is fair game to follow up with an update request).

Hi all: sorry for the new account but many of you know who I am through our discussions over the years. Also sorry for long post 
I completed a first year scheme last year with an MC firm and got offered TC after the scheme interview which had an extended signing period to allow us to explore options. I continued to apply to a number of firms as I was not sure exactly what I wanted to do or if I would be suited better at a smaller intake firm. Having interviewed at a couple of firms and explored open days and events, I decided to sign and accept my TC at the beginning of January. I then withdrew my application from all other firms as is required. However, a well known private equity firm that I had withdrawn from called me a few weeks later to ask me whether I would consider reneging on my TC and very heavily implied that they would offer me a direct TC.
I found this really inappropriate because of the implication that I (and I assume others) could be fasttracked through a process which is supposed to be transparent and fair. Call me naive but I did not consider that this happens in this day and age.
I think this needs reporting but I do not know who to. Does anyone know if this is against regulations or rules? If so where can I find them?
If this has happened to others I would be really interested in hearing by DM.

Did you mean Linklater's? Or Forsters? I emailed Links about a month ago after having submitted my application in December, haven't heard back and its not looking hopeful haha
I know of two firms that have done it with a friend, it definitely does go on.Hi all: sorry for the new account but many of you know who I am through our discussions over the years. Also sorry for long post
