    Weird question: Does anyone have a favourite quiet place to write (applications) somewhere in central London?

    Is it just me or is the word count for Withers' application really restrictive? The online form is basically saying I have 60ish words to answer each question (T_T)

    I there are several. They sent me an email saying they’re still reviewing apps and hope to get back to everyone by end of March. Hope that helps!

    it’s probably best you didn’t. @Homer ‘s joke was actually funny and may have even landed. in my case, none of them landed (SO WERE THEY EVEN JOKES?) and, combined with my lackluster interview performance, they likely came off as entirely misplaced.

    Had trouble finding the answer to this, but after an interview/AC, do recruiters consider how a candidate has performed at various stages of the application process before making them an offer (or do they just consider AC/interview performance)? Wondering if @Jessica Booker might know.

    don’t think anyone’s heard back yet. but also completely expecting a rejection. i made like 3 inappropriate jokes, cut off a partner mid sentence, and basically couldnt remember anything i’d prepared due to sheer nervousness. lmao im toast

    Re: Mishcon, I just emailed the careers team. They said they’re still reviewing applications and hope to get back to everyone by the end of March.

    not sure about k&l gates, but i wouldn’t worry yet about V&E :) i was told they were making decisions only after interviews were completed - and if i remember correctly, they had interviews all of last week. should be getting back to us in the next 10 days.

    Had my first ever partner interview today and I can’t help but feel it went badly (even though it seemed fun and conversational at times). Despite rehearsing my answers and doing mock interviews over the last few weeks, I was thrown off by the way certain questions were phrased. Also, my nerves...

    yep, but i was speaking about this to someone after i saw your post and now we think the person i had in mind may well have exaggerated the number of offers he received 😑
