pfo from cleary as well lol – applied close to the deadline but i had a lot of interactions with the firm so a bit disappointed
I don't know what this Cleary firm is but christ they are on a rejection rick-roll today. Sorry for the bad news everyone - chin up!
I honestly dont know how you have the time to be so nice on here. I have no idea who you are but you have such positive vibes !!!You need to basically split your life up into a pie chart and when you are doing coursework, remove anything that reminds you of apps. Immerse yourself in your degree - because remember, the outcome of your degree is important too. Lemme know if you wanna chat about this.
Maybe they were all sent at once and they're done now?Are these cleary rejections all in the last hour or less-I’m getting worried 😅
Awww thank you - I guess I am just very good at time management (I have 2 part-time jobs, a full-time degree, extracurricular etc). My secret ingredient is google calenderI honestly dont know how you have the time to be so nice on here. I have no idea who you are but you have such positive vibes !!!
I actually thought that with them being non-rolling, they will have a look at all of they applications and then send out interview invites etc... but it seems this is not entirely the case.They are running 4 schemes tbf so we should all try and remain somewhat hopeful.
Wish they would just reject me though because the wait is agonising while watching other people.
Jesus... that doesnt sound funI never applied but for what it's worth I have an acquaintance who is training there and it is apparently an absolute sweatshop. So it might be positive to view this as a bullet dodged!
I’m on a similar timeline as you. I did my telephone interview before 18/12 even.should I email MB? I sent my app on 9/11 and completed the tests by 14/11 and then had a TI on 18/12 and now I've heard nothing :/ unless others have been waiting longer
You could probably use the sweatshop term when discussing most US firms in London hahaI never applied but for what it's worth I have an acquaintance who is training there and it is apparently an absolute sweatshop. So it might be positive to view this as a bullet dodged!
I emailed Mayer brown on Thursday to ask for an update...no reply yetI’m on a similar timeline as you. I did my telephone interview before 18/12 even.
Just got an email asking for my availability to interviewAnyone still waiting for Sidley?
Best of luck! I thoroughly enjoyed my interviewJust got an email asking for my availability to interview
nice! May I ask when you applied?Just got an email asking for my availability to interview
Yep as soon as Cleary made all of their paralegals redundant a couple of years ago, I feared for every trainee at the firm and decided I was never ever applying there...I never applied but for what it's worth I have an acquaintance who is training there and it is apparently an absolute sweatshop. So it might be positive to view this as a bullet dodged!
Thank you ! I have a few questions if you have a min - is it okay if I message youBest of luck! I thoroughly enjoyed my interview
