    I just got invited to an interview with Farrer & Co. There’s also a written assessment. I’d be really grateful if anyone has suggestions or insights about what those interviews are like :)

    There are a few, including Macfarlanes (due Monday), Weil (end of July), Arnold & Porter (end of July). The legal cheek deadlines calendar is a useful way to keep tabs :) https://www.legalcheek.com/key-deadlines-calendar/
