Yes it was! I just asked. They didn’t even ask me where the other offer was from or interview me or anything. They met up internally and issued me the formal offer within a week!- Zubin

Hi Dheepa, did you mention the names of the other firms your offers were at, or did you keep that information private?- Zubin

Hi there! I know this is an older post, but did you disclose the names of the other firms? Or did you just say “other firms”?- Zubin

Thanks for your advice, Jessica. I'm emailing now to set up a call with firms B and C this week. Do you think I should mention in my email that I received a TC offer from another firm?- Zubin

I would prefer a TC offer from firm B or C instead of doing the vacation schemes. However, I would prefer to do the vacation schemes instead of accepting a TC with firm A. I'm much keener on firms B and C than firm A.- Zubin

Hi everyone, I'm unsure where to post this but I need some help. Received a TC offer from firm "A" and I'm very happy about that. However, I have only a couple of weeks to accept firm A's TC offer and have upcoming VSs with firms "B" and "C" this summer. I prefer firms B and C to firm A, and...- Zubin

Jessica, thanks for your response. My motivations remain the same, however, I am leaning most towards BM and would be reneging on two other summer VS offers by accepting a TC offer at this stage, which may work in my favour to demonstrate my commitment to BM. Unfortunately, BM only runs one...- Zubin

Thank you so much! Really happy and the celebratory pints have indeed already began... Completely agree re: bouncing back from mistakes. I had a mental conversation with myself right after not finishing the doc-checking exercise, which was the first task. Hurt my confidence at first, but I...- Zubin

Thank you! Is this a thing? I was initially hoping to go back home to HK this summer because travel restrictions are lifting, and I haven't seen my family in nearly three years... Do you think BM would do that for me given the results? @Jessica Booker , perhaps you could weigh in on this?- Zubin

Just received an offer from Baker McKenzie for their Summer VS! They said I performed the best they've seen this cycle and received the highest marks for the group exercise, partner case study, and associate interview out of every AC they've conducted this year!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! I don't have a TC yet but from my own VS experiences and from what I've seen on the forum, if the email invite recommends booking onto the earliest available assessment day and states that recruitment is on a rolling basis, you'd be much better off booking the sooner ones. Perhaps you can...- Zubin
