Not yet - they still haven’t assessed TC Applications for 2022 so I wouldn’t expect anything massively soon!Has anyone heard from Forsters?

I emailed at trainee.recruitment@linklaters.comIs graduate.recruitment@linklaters.com the email address that everyone has used to contact linklaters for their WG results?
There are an awful lot of assumptions in C though. That’s why we are discussing it.I promise I will stop after this one because again I don't mean to get into a brawl. I am just passionate about age discrimination as something we seem to care less about than other issues.
A. If you think discrimination is wrong,
B. If you think age is a protected characteristic,
C. A policy like CC's that disadvantages older applicants (as I have shown before) is wrong.
I am claiming the morality is simple because I am sure most people would agree with A and B. So if C is true (as I've argued before) the morality is clear. And on that, we can quibble about the legality of C but the morality...I don't think so...
But again, this is getting a bit off track. I just wanted to point out discrimination not get into a fight here so apologies if I offended anyone and I hope some of you will have a think about this issue.
How long ago did you originally chase?Is it bad to double chase regarding interview outcome if the firm hasn’t even replied to my first chaser email? 🥺
It’s the sort of thing a well meaning person might think ensures a level playing field but is actually kind of insulting. (Not because I think I’m better than other disabled people but because we should be judged with our cohort, imo.)Oh my god that might actually be it but I don't wanna be pitted against other disabled people wtf
They said I would hear in 2 weeks. It was 3 weeks since my interview on Friday just passed and I emailed then asking when I might hear but haven’t had a response to that email.How long ago did you originally chase?
When did the firm say they would get back to you originally?
You can't only conceptualise the issue as one of final year students and penultimate year students. The issue is one of penultimate year students and everyone else with no upper boundary. Depending on the number of graduates that are applying it is very much a matter of years rather than months.The issue with the age discrimination theory in my eyes, is that you are talking about an age difference in months in many cases, not years.
And in many cases a final year student could actually be younger than a penultimate year student (four year degrees, Scottish education system, people who have resat exams either at school/uni, gap years, people who have changed courses). I am not confident it is clear cut that the average age of a priority group would be significantly different than a non-priority group. But that’s just my opinion based on my experiences 🙃
I wasn’t exempt, but it would be very very odd if they did that. From my understanding with the person I spoke to there were about 12/13 people at her AC and I think they had 2 last week. Let’s presume this is 26 people, not all of them might be invited to VS and overall, there are 40 VS spaces. Might be best to just wait it out as frustrating as it is, I hope you hear good news soon😊Oh my god that might actually be it but I don't wanna be pitted against other disabled people wtf
Yeah I deleted my OG post cause we may be barking up the wrong tree and I don't wanna put other people off the firm.It’s the sort of thing a well meaning person might think ensures a level playing field but is actually kind of insulting. (Not because I think I’m better than other disabled people but because we should be judged with our cohort, imo.)
I mean, we’re probably barking up the wrong tree. All this waiting is making me crazy.
Dw, deleted OG post as I think me and Veep may be panicking a lil. Just a bit odd that they gave us a specific time frame and all exempt people I know haven't heard back. Fingers crossed though!I wasn’t exempt, but it would be very very odd if they did that. From my understanding with the person I spoke to there were about 12/13 people at her AC and I think they had 2 last week.

Thank you for being the voice of reason!I wasn’t exempt, but it would be very very odd if they did that.

But that will be where the bulk of applications come from (in my experience).You can't only conceptualise the issue as one of final year students and penultimate year students. The issue is one of penultimate year students and everyone else with no upper boundary. Depending on the number of graduates that are applying it is very much a matter of years rather than months.
I’ve taken my post off too but now the idea is definitely in my head. Oh well ...Dw, deleted OG post as I think me and Veep may be panicking a lil. Just a bit odd that they gave us a specific time frame and all exempt people I know haven't heard back. Fingers crossed though!
