    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Willkie VI! Wow that was a speedy one. Wish they could have invited me a week later because I am so busy packing to go back to school this week. The deadline is 4 Oct, and I'll be back in school on 2 Oct. Hmm not sure if I should wait till I get back to do it or get it out of the way before my...

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    The feedback was that I did not do well on the technical assessment and was not sufficiently detail-oriented in a drafting task. There’s also head count issues (they are known to only convert roughly 30%) so I kinda anticipated that it will be a hard VS and was not too disheartened to not...

    Dechert's VS app asks for Company/Organisation referee, does anyone know if I can put down my internship supervisor? Or are they looking more for references from employers that candidates have worked for on a full time basis (in which case I do not have any)?

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Unpopular opinion but I found Ashurst’s online test really enjoyable. The game format was very engaging and it didn’t feel like an assessment at all!! Also quick update on applications: I decided to go all out this year and increased the number of firms I’m applying to. Last year I only applied...

    Went off the grid re: law apps for the past few weeks and my mental health has never been better!!! I was really pleased to have progressed to the final interview for a buy side finance job that I applied to on a whim when I was too depressed from TC applications. Also had hopeful news from a...

    Thank you so much!!! Yes I had the exact same experience with a chamber I applied to last year. They took in 20 mini pupils in total and I was the 22 out of 200+ applicants.... But I really like how transparent they are with the process. The grading metric they provided is actually super helpful...
