    You also need to consider how for some MC firms, US business is driving their profitability (Freshfields) and how these MC firms are just breaking into the market, so need to initially compete with the salaries that US firms offer to stand a chance of recruiting top talent. Also agree with...

    Ah, sorry to hear this :( I'm still waiting to hear back from Sidley full stop (post app - summer VS), I was wondering if they revealed where they are at in the recruitment process on your AC/any other communications you may have had with them?

    Has anyone attended a virtual W&C practice area session in the past? I registered for the capital markets one this afternoon, however, I'm feeling as rough with COVID. I'm wondering whether it's interactive or more of a talk.

    Not sure, it does say they are looking for 1-2 trainees on the app page though (I have been trying to work it out as well, as I have a diff SVS offer and wondering if it will be very competitive). On the basis of 1-2, I would presume it will be no more than 10? All I can find is that they have...

    But they did hand out a load of PFOs didn't they, which I'm confused about. Perhaps we've just slipped under the PFO UFO radar hahaha

    I don't think it would be looked on very favourably at all if you were to remind an interviewer of the time, or suggest bringing it to a close. I have no experience working in HR/interviewing but my instincts tell me that if you did such a thing you probably wouldn't hear back!
