Car Crash Interview anecdotes
Haha so I mentioned this in another thread and it ended up working out reasonably well but at the time I thought it was a bit of a car crash, least of all for this point below... Having just been grilled on a commercial awareness question as a follow-up to an obscure feature of my CV (which I...- Daniel Boden

Car Crash Interview anecdotes
Wow! That definitely beats my worst of 'swearing' during an interview! Septicaemia... jeez I would have loved to have heard GradRec's response when you said that's one of the reasons why you performed so poorly haha- Daniel Boden

GDL outside of London
Yeah it's not an issue. I'm a future trainee with US firm Gibson Dunn and they were very happy for me to do the GDL at ULaw outside of London but would prefer me to do the LPC at BPP in London, mainly so that I can get to know my future colleagues who I'll join the firm with. I think most US...- Daniel Boden

Moving from Magic Circle to US firms
Just to add to all of the excellent advice been given above, if your only reason for wanting to work at a US firm is the higher salary then I'd highly recommend against that. As @Alice G, @Dheepa and @Kola have said there is a lot more to life than money and if the high levels of responsibility...- Daniel Boden

I think it depends on how you ask. If you ask it in a way that comes across as genuine and curious than I don't think there's an issue with it but I wouldn't necessarily lead with it if that makes sense- Daniel Boden

US Firms in London with Good Disputes Practices?
I completely agree with what @Raam and @Ren97 have said - the above firms mentioned are probably the best US firms for disputes with Gibson Dunn's disputes and international arbitration practice being #1 in my biased opinion ;)- Daniel Boden

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
I went with full suit and no tie when I did mine in the summer. A few guys started off with ties but very quickly were told it wasn't necessary so i just went with shirt and jacket unless it was an assessed presentation/task where I wore a tie. Hope that helps!- Daniel Boden

Take notes on the call, or try and speak to the partner beforehand if there's anything he/she would like you to do. Equally, if you know who the client is, try and research their industry/trends in the industry so you have a bit of background of things/issues to be aware of. Other than that...- Daniel Boden

It won't be 15 minutes a question don't worry haha. Most likely will be 30 seconds to read/prepare an answer and then a minute to 90 seconds to give your answer. Most likely it's saying 30 minutes including the time to get set up/make sure your camera and microphone are working/any practice...- Daniel Boden
