    Yeah just to add further evidence of this, my firm Gibson Dunn has an awful lot of lawyers who are ex-US DoJ which no doubt explains why it's so good for white-collar/investigations work

    When I went to a Gibson Dunn Open Day I actually got to meet that partner dude who was like a head honcho at the SFO. Sacha something? They're doing the same thing here too!

    Yeah Sacha Harber-Kelly! I actually had the opportunity to do some work for him on my vac scheme - super nice guy who's incredibly smart as you'd expect

    Anyone willing to share what they scored for Gateley’s ‘four pillars’? I did well for Grit and applied intellect, but my creative force and digital mindset let me down.
    Feel as if that’s what they’re after too.
    Expecting a PFO🤣
    How long after completing the assessment did you receive your feedback? I completed mine five days ago and still yet to receive feedback? Do you know the address of the email account?

    Got 9/9 for applied intellect, 7 for creative force, 6 for digital mindset, and 1 for grit. Time to take the L 😬😂. I personally have no clue how any of that test was meant to test my grit, but we move.

    I wonder if they work it out like a percentage so because there’s 36 in total to get maybe like 60% pass rate which would mean you’d need 22 in total?
