ROF forums and polls are Reddit for associates and partners who pride themselves on the anonymity to talk about everything. They tend to be fairly accurate. ROF newsfeeds, on the other hand, come from the rumor mill ... some are bang-on things that firms wouldn't dare to admit themselves, but...- Jony

Adding on to this: My flatmate had an incredible fast stream internship with the Civil Service - they were supportive like none other company I've seen. My girlfriend also wants to join the Fast Stream - they apparently have incredibly flexible working practices, and once you're in you're able...- Jony

Goodbye, Fiat: Tesla’s Investment in Bitcoin
Seems like there's a good diversity of views over here. I'd recommend a move away from the idea of cryptocurrencies as storage of value, which is what this discussion seems to be rolling about. There's far more value in talking about the intrinsic differences between platforms, chains and even...- Jony

Final year law here. I didn't apply for anything in my second year, and I have two VSes coming up in my first cycle applying. Firm up your applications for the winter season - plenty of my friends got VSes and conversions into TCs then. Start clearing your schedule for September and October -...- Jony

If you don't believe in yourself, nobody will! You've gotten this far over hundreds of applicants. You ARE special, and you're going to ace this. It's normal to undervalue yourself, but remember that if anyone can get you through this AC, it's you. I used to work with the crypto industry, and a...- Jony

Curious mate - if you didn't want a MC TC, why'd you apply for links and FF? Waiting alongside you for Cooley, and I wouldn't cancel out Mofo just yet - they take a while to get back to folks. Cooley's AC is absolutely intense though - something to hopefully look forward to!- Jony

I’d politely disagree - the definition of non-rolling is that the firm has received all applications after closing the deadline. They then consider all the applications in its entirety before deciding on who to recruit. This could be done in batches, but it still remains non-rolling because...- Jony

When I applied last year, the word count for the cover letter wasn't fixed (i.e 800 words). I definitely write better when I'm unconstrained! Didn't over-write, but didn't try to re-edit everything 8 times.- Jony

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Agreed. Speaking from this cycle's experience, whenever the US firm has given me more opportunities (a longer application form) to expand upon my life experiences it's always been a positive outcome to the next stage. MC firms have been outright long-holds or rejections. (with the exception of...- Jony

I'm was in the UK while my family was in Singapore when the Skadden offer arrived. I videocalled my mom and dad and told them in the most serious face possible, that I didn't get it: My mom: "Don't lie, I can see it your face. I'm your mother, you know."- Jony
