    I guess the application process for Mayer Brown has changed bc instead of a telephone interview, I just passed the online tests and was now invited to their job simulation stage 🥳🥳🥳

    Unfortunately you cannot. But I wouldn’t worry too much about that. You can always disclose this information at the AC if they ask you, as I’m sure they’d understand your current situation.

    This is incorrect. On the email, it clearly says 7 days from receiving the email. There’s no way they’d expect candidates to complete the test before the deadline, esp if some candidates apply by tonight and get the test tmoro.

    No. They said that I should hear back early next week if I’m through to the AC so we’ll see.

    You automatically pass the WG stage if you’ve previously applied to the firm and passed the WG stage. So if you have, congratulations!!!

    OMG, after all that wait, it was so worth it. Heard back from CC regarding the 2023 TC and I’ve passed the WG 🥳🥳🥳🥳

    Whilst everyone is slowly hearing back from CC regarding the 2023 TC, my application still hasn’t updated from the deadline day. Slowly getting worried now 😩

    My CC portal still hasn’t updated from the 26 November and I still haven’t heard back from the firm whether I progressed to the WG or not 😒

    It’s honestly so subjective. It’s possible that you passed that test but remember, you need to pass the benchmark for both tests to be progressed to the TI.

    No, this isn’t true. All those who have received offers from DLA already either did the first year scheme or were brand ambassadors. DLA is known to get back to these candidates first and have the AC with them before getting back to us after the deadline.

    The part where the firm automatically rejects you through AI is not true. You are only prevented from applying to a firm if you make it to their AC and are unsuccessful, but this condition has to be part of the firm’s recruitment process.
