Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

When I requested to see my WG result, they confirmed that I actually...- Yminh

Commercial awareness resources: collated list of pros and cons
they don't categorise these topics by law firms unfortunately. As @Hazal pointed out it is dependent on what topics they decided to cover and which firm participated in the interview.

I'm not sure what the firms are trying to get out of me from this kind of question, is it a competency-based or motivation-based? Are they trying to find out what values I deem to be important? Do I need to...- Yminh

Weekly Commercial Awareness Thread
haha I was wondering why financial stocks would benefit from high interest rate, realised the answer is rather simple: they gain more from lending. Still trying to wrap my head around the connectivity of all these events, and financial jargons could be a pain sometimes- Yminh
