    WFH general tips?

    Just to add also (that just came to me while having a quick brew break at work) that the most important thing is to keep open lines of communication with your team. When you are WFH your colleagues may not be aware of heavy (or light) your workload is so it is really important to make sure that...

    I work from home in my current career and there a few things that I would suggest that help me be more productive and mentally secure when working from home. Have a commute. It is all too easy to go from bedroom to bathroom to office (or wherever you are working from) but I find, at the end of...

    It is variable between firms, the firm I will be joining generally calls for offers and emails for rejections but I have had calls for rejections post-AC in the past also. A call is great as you have the opportunity to discuss feedback there and then as opposed to potentially long waits for...

    This is hilarious! I don't know, just order some chicken and sides? Maybe I need to give it another shot, it was getting on for a good 10 years ago so maybe it has just improved since then!

    Pfo from Michelmores and I'm not even bothered by it. Just shows that they are not the firm for me and I shouldn't have wasted time applying for a firm that I didn't love

    My AC isnt until the 16th and was the last slot I had available to book for. I would assume that they will shortlist once they are all complete but I will ask when I have the opportunity so will let you know

    If it just said expires in 7 days instead of specifying an expiry date I would have assumed that it would have been 168 hours from when it was received. Wait and see what grad rec say

    It is really variable, I had a call last year to let me know I was unsuccessful and they talked through all of my feedback and what to work on versus what I did well there and then on the same call. Another firm said they would email feedback after an unsuccessful AC at the start of September...
