    Does anyone have insights on DACB's AC, or the firm in general? They don't have that many exterior resources bar Legal Cheek, and although I'm going through their website I still feel like I'm missing some extra details... Thank you!!

    Just did the weightmans sjt test and flopped it so bad 😂😂😂 It's such a hit and miss, I've done so well in past SJTs but sometimes it all goes so wrong, even though I don't feel like I particularly change my answers that much?? They're so hard to hack 😭

    Do people have tips on connecting with trainees/ future trainees on linkedin? I'm sending connections but I feel like if people don't know you they're unlikely to accept? Would you recommend sending a message with the connection invite (also bearing in mind you can only do that for 5 invites a...

    Thank you so much for your answer. I've also read that successful TC offer holders often go out of their way to knock on people's doors/ go up to people to speak to them (not during lunch but during working hours) to make themselves known. Is this actually typical and recommended? Or should I...

    Hey guys, I have my first ever VS coming up in two weeks, and I'm not really sure how to go about asking ppl to go for coffees and stuff? I know it's an important part of standing out and making sure ppl get to know you, but I have a one week VS and I don't actually know when I'm gonna have...

    Oh no, tbh I agree and I agree with @Chris Brown's take that only hiring from "elite" unis lacks obvious context, and a holistic view as to how/why people choose their universities. I was simply arguing that saying Birmingham isn't one of the top universities seems wrong, when they are scored so...
