I think it should only be temporary to be honest, no offence but it can be a bit obnoxious and distracting.Haha - this came on a day too early.
It's TCLA's birthday (7 years old!) tomorrow
Edit: I might change it to confetti. Can you heart this if you prefer a heart and thumbs up if you prefer confetti?

Congrats on TCLA turning 7 years old tomorrow! 🥳
Since it is TCLA’s birthday tomorrow, can we all get a TCLA 7th anniversary premium discount. 👀👀
It would be just a one time thing, just purely to celebrate TCLA’s 7th birthday! 🎂🎉
What do you think? 🥲🥲

Hiya @a1024
Well done on getting to the video interview! I'm not sure if it's still the same process, but I was successful when I applied several cycles ago and the video interview was actually a virtual interview with several people from their legal team. I wanted to just mention a bit about my experience here alongside the excellent feedback already shared by @Amma Usman. I'd also just note that I think it's important to approach it like any other law firm interview. I found that approaching it this way was really helpful in preparing for the video interview with their legal team.
During my preparation, one key area I focused on was why I was particularly interested in experiencing legal work from an in-house perspective rather than at a City firm. This is important because the role of an in-house lawyer can be quite different, and often involves working closely with various non-legal business teams, thinking about the needs of your particular organisation, and often playing a more strategic, risk-management role rather than purely executing legal transactions. Being able to articulate why such work was appealing to me (and how I was suited to it) was something that I knew I needed to be prepared for.
I also made sure I could build on what I had written in my application when answering “Why AmEx?” and also why I was interested in financial services. I'm assuming this question is still asked in their application form, but we had no more than 100 words to answer the question during my cycle. I think having a more detailed/considered understanding of why you'd like to be at AmEx for the summer can really allow you to stand out. It will also allow you to show that you've had more to say since you submitted your application. I'd encourage you to have a think about specific aspects of AmEx's legal work, its in-house culture, and also why working in the financial services sector more broadly is appealing to you.
Finally, I did a bit of preparation for competency-based questions, particularly around problem-solving, teamwork, and handling legal challenges in a business environment. The STAR method was generally quite helpful here, and I think having concrete examples in mind helped me give structured answers.
Please just bear in mind that the structure of the video interview might have changed since the cycle in which I applied. That being said, I hope this helps and best of luck!
