One point ofc is the shorter seat cycles at Freshies; you can extrapolate this out to some thoughts about the kind of professional development they value (breadth in the first instance rather than very early hyperspecialisation) - presumably this means something to them in terms of how they...- Rob93

Imo if you can show i) that you have reflected on and understood the root of the failure and ii) have taken some productive learning away from that experience, anything is fair game. That said, it is an answer that they will hear fairly often and I'm not sure that 'failure' to convert is...- Rob93

I never went on the new grad route (got onto Spousal last year) but I picked up work immediately after my masters while still on my student visa. However, it was i) a company I had previously worked with and ii) project work which was due to end prior to my student visa expiring. As regards...- Rob93

Assuming you're thinking of Slaughters' 'multi-specialist' programme here. The idea with multi-specialist training/practice at Slaughters is the the practices are in fairly broad 'buckets.' So if you're in finance, you might do a bit of leveraged (loan) finance, some bonds work, some...- Rob93

On the topic of SJTs and similar, in case of interest, if you're anything like me your instinct might be to sort things yourself as much as possible and only select answers that involve leaning on other people in like really fringe cases. Having now spent a few months in a City firm this is...- Rob93

Don't recall exactly but iirc it took me 30-45 minutes - that said I didn't spend loads of time on the answers and tended to go with my gut (this did not go well for me but i think that is more due to how i thought at the time about the role and the expectations than anything else).- Rob93

Anyone else having login trouble with freshfields? Trying to bang out an 11th hour app and keep getting locked out when going to reset my password. Relatedly, would anyone be keen to share the cover letter prompt so I can at least get cracking on that locally while troubleshooting? (Would also...- Rob93

Probably fine - have heard some recruiters say that below 2:1 in contract can be an issue, sometimes with the caveat that strong results in other commercial modules in upper years can mitigate this somewhat.- Rob93
