    Which firms recruit predominantly from VS and which ones from TC?

    I don't know whether it's 'worth it' per se, but I think that they recruit around 70-80% from their VS (source: chambers student)

    I would recommend doing it in one sitting - it's not very long but I think you probably can do it across multiple instances (don't hold me to this though!)

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I've done it for the VS and I think it's the same basically, it's very similar to the Linklaters one but just with BCLP examples instead if you haven't done the Links one, it's basically just a bunch of scenarios and you have to respond with what you are most to least likely to do and there are...

    Hahaha thank you! I would change it, but I think it's an accurate depiction of the TC struggles bc, let's be honest, no one smiles whilst trying to get a TC 🙃

    Mine is fairness, focus and generosity but just because they are unique, doesn't mean they are positive the 'most unique' ones are the ones that are either above or below average so, for my generosity one, they said that I tend to focus on my own personal goals, as opposed to sharing my...

    I'm so sorry! I definitely didn't mean to dampen anyone else's confidence - I was just ranting 😅 I did it on a smartphone and I definitely think it would be easier because there were some that were to do with tapping and I think I'm better at tapping on a smartphone :)

    just did the WBD pymetrics test and I genuinely think that it's painted me very very inaccurately. I think that tests like these, which are game based and a report is produced, are definitely not accurate - in a game, if I shoot someone, that doesn't mean I will shoot someone in real life! I...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    what are some key considerations for a firm when considering an acquisition? would this be things like identifying growth opportunities in the target company, finding out if they have any ongoing litigation, if there are any contracts they are tied to etc?
