You're getting targeted ads for law and business at least! I don't know what button I've been mistakenly clicking recently but I'm constantly get conspiracy theories about how the Mars rover landing was fake or novelty articles telling me the 'top 10 things that intelligent people are reading...- Matt_96

I realised how boring and hyper-focused on job hunting my life has become recently when I discovered that Chambers and the Legal 500 were the no.2 and 3 most visited websites on my browsing history over the past year behind the FT. Might have to start putting down reading (and rereading when I...- Matt_96

If you pass the situational judgment test you will get sent it, there's no examining of your application or anything because the app form doesn't really form a significant part of the process. All I had to do was put some basic details about my hobbies that I copy pasted from other answers. In...- Matt_96

Just to clarify, most of the articles I looked at did not go into depth about other retailers, so you'd have to draw those inferences yourself. Best of luck!- Matt_96

I don't know but I can certainly tell you about what I talked about in my interview with Trowers yesterday which was John Lewis's intention to enter the affordable housing market and whether it was the future of big retailers with large amounts of land but decreasing need for it, or whether it...- Matt_96

It's not a PFO til it's a PFO! I literally did my Simmons and Simmons app on the day of the deadline as a joke because I wanted to practice video interviews and they send them to every candidate. I have my AC tomorrow! Given how long Forsters has taken to get back to some of us (I'm waiting to...- Matt_96

Yeah I agree with this so much. Having a strategy for applying is very important, even if it isn't an obvious one. My priorities were 1) how soon was the deadline 2) did it have an online test (all WG tests are a no from me) 3) how easy were the questions and 4) is it good for disputes (what I...- Matt_96

Yes, same for me! My interviewer was such a nice guy. I got the distinct feeling it might have been his first time interviewing (although he didn't say) but I wasn't sure.- Matt_96

I shelled out and bought it recently as I thought there was no way, being a disorganised person, that I was going to be able to make my own checklists. It is very good. Puts the basic facts into a very simple and easy to understand visual format. But it is probably not a total replacement for...- Matt_96

One of my best pals used to work in IB for JP Morgan in San Francisco. He said that it was very well paid but 1) not worth the 100 hour weeks and 2) mind-numbingly dull. Apparently M&A is considered the 'cerebral' aspect of IB (as opposed to, idk, equity sales), and all he was doing was making...- Matt_96

By some utter miracle despite applying on the deadline and giving the most ridiculous possible answer to a question about me for the video interview, I've somehow managed to get an AC at Simmons & Simmons' Bristol office!- Matt_96
