    Commercial Awareness Discussion Thread

    There's a really interesting article about Robinhood here - https://marker.medium.com/how-robinhood-convinced-millennials-to-trade-their-way-through-a-pandemic-1a1db97c7e08 The beginning is mostly background on how the app started, but about two thirds of the way through it talks about the...

    Baker McKenzie

    Nah I don’t think it’s reasonable to leave a comment on here telling people if they haven’t heard that they’ve been rejected when that assumption is based only on your personal interpretation.

    It doesn’t say ‘if successful’ it says ‘whether you have been successful’. They wouldn’t do a silent PFO.

    It's anyone's guess at this point. Just wanted to share my experience from last year.

    Baker McKenzie

    Last year for the vac scheme AC's they sent invites out in batches (I think to help manage the process of people signing up for dates). They could have changed it this year and it does seem odd with the bank holiday I would think they'd want to get all the responses out today but they do take on...

    I think it took me a week to hear back after the WG and I did pass, so I don't think there's any set timeframe.

    I wouldn't worry about it yet unless other firms start following HL. For some firms, if you submit a TC app it will be considered first because they won't have given any TC spaces to Spring vac schemers yet (e.g. Baker McKenzie).

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I had a similar thing happen where the word count of my answers was much lower on the form than in word. I think there might be something up with the way that they count up characters on the form. The form does automatically cut your answer off if you have too many words, so I just made sure to...

    Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus

    I agree, I was hoping I would get to do it but yesterday the advice changed quite a bit and things seem to be moving more quickly. Did Latham offer you an alternative?

    Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus

    I'm worried about my own Spring scheme too but I'm resisting emailing because I don't want to add to the panic. If they make any decisions about it we will be the first to know.

    I can only see the first link --- Law firms have begun to amend their graduate recruitment activities in response to the spread of coronavirus across the globe. More than 30 law firms run spring vacation schemes in which students from across the UK and beyond gather to experience life in the...

    Ah I hope they manage to work something out. I’ve had a train ticket that I didn’t use refunded on Trainline before, it might be worth looking at. Hopefully they’ll let you know soon though.

    Do Mishcon only take on trainees via the vacation scheme route? Other firms could possibly opt to do direct TC interviews instead

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Sorry that this happened, I can’t imagine how frustrating that must have been. When stuff like this happens I just try to think that if it were me, even though I really want a TC at my ideal firm (like everyone else), if I got it through cheating I don’t think it’d feel like as much of an...

    I believe they also had a direct TC AC in December. Yours might have been the first of the year though.

    Kirkland & Ellis Vac Scheme AC

    Has anyone heard back post-AC? Do they usually wait until all AC's have been completed?
