    Reed Smith really decided to bathe in blood today, huh? Solidarity to all getting PFOs, just hang in there!

    MB has a whole raft of tests. First part is situational judgment, same kind of thing you'll have seen at links or A&O or Latham if you've done those. Then there are some like, critical thinking and analytical tests, parts of which are similar to WG other parts I've only seen at MB.

    This is extremely good, much more thorough than my comment.

    W Germany in particular the different cities have very different economies - the big ones are Frankfurt, which is finance-driven, and Munich which is industrial & tech. So if a firm is good globally on both finance and corporate, currently only acting in Frankfurt, there's a business case to be...

    Flipside of this ofc is that you could have good but not sterling grades, be from a working class background and have acquitted yourself well in the workforce and not be able to use this at first cut.

    Some don't want to have work experience in their initial screen, on the understanding that for students (the majority of applicants) assessing work experience will tend to reproduce generational advantages. It usually comes up later in the process.

    What I've heard about Slaughters is it varies a lot by interviewer. However - if they grill you on a grade, it's not that they actually care about the grade (or you wouldn't be in interview) but that they want to see how you deal under pressure.

    I think as a rule of thumb ideally within the last year but you can go back a bit further if your reasons are very good. Skadden was clearly unimpressed with my mentioning their work on RJR, chronicled in Barbarians at the Gate, in the 80s - this is definitely too far

    I saw them when they were touring X&Y, vividly remember long-haired Chris Martin rolling around on stage shirtless

    Rough! I liked them fine through viva la vida but certainly think they've gone off in the last 10 years or so.

    Know the deal reasonably well, but remember the key part is not the deal per se but what about it interested you and why.

    What did Chris Martin do to deserve this? Parachutes and Rush of Blood are great albums!

    I've thought about this a bit - very hard to parse how many directs are available as they are often dependent on VS outcomes.

    In-house at a market research company - private practice is hopefully the next move, though I'd settle for a stint in banking/asset management.

    Lmao. Kind of, though I just came off my full-time contract so am focusing on lining up the best possible next paralegal role at the moment (and also just like, chilling a bit after a very hectic few months!) But yeah will be turning to the direct cycle soon, aiming to prep some apps before...

    Have had so many dreams like this. The real test is one of patience, which will be rewarded - probably my preferred reading

    This has been said elsewhere, but pick a time and stick to it. I had scheduled myself a time to do my first VI but woke up one morning very excitable and decided to just go for it - this was a mistake. Idk if V&E gives a general outline of their VI but if they do, prepare even for things that...

    As has been mentioned their email client sometimes apparently gets gummed up so we may just be left wondering interminably. I'm prepared to write them off if we don't hear anything by the end of the week.
