I guess Linklaters is a PFO by this point, been almost 3 months and am seeing a lot of offers on LinkedIn....
Thank you!!Hey Jay,
Hard to say for sure as I've no personal experience of the Debevoise AC. Could be along the lines of a case study, in which case I'd advise checking out my case study article, but could be a variety of tasks. Sorry I can't be of any more help!

Do firms generally allow rejected VS applicants to apply for direct TC’s during the same cycle?? Also, is it frowned upon to go down this route? Thank you!
Adding on to this:It shouldn’t solely be about the money. I know it’s why most people choose this career but you have to really love the work too. The hours are awful and your entire life becomes your job. If you hate the work itself then that will make it more unbearable. £100,000 + is a phenomenal salary, but after tax and living expenses of living as close to the office as possible and having little time to actually spend your money, is it worth it if you don’t actually like the work?
With all that being said, I don’t think you’d be doing much tort/land law at Dechert?
Do you mean the difference between strength and competency questions in interviews, or just generally?I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are the differences between strengths and competencies?? Is a strength something you're strong at while a competency is something you're merely competent at lol
Hi, W&C for summer or spring?Also waiting for Linklaters, Travers, Gibson, Dechert, Latham and Freshfields, just heard back from White & Case.
Just wanted to add my two pence in this, I'm doing the LPC right now and the course really does step away from academic law and focuses more on the application of it in certain scenarios. You also may have an opportunity in choosing electives at the end of the year so you can really tailor the course into what you actually enjoy. I definitely wouldn't worry about the LPC and wouldn't consider it as a deal breaker!Does anyone else have a non-law job offer that they're seriously considering taking over a TC?? I got on the Fast Stream this year and I absolutely hated my 2nd year uni modules (tort/land especially) so if Dechert doesn't come thru with that £100,000 NQ salary I'm not sure what else could possibly motivate me to do the LPC 😂
Summer PFO post appHi, W&C for summer or spring?
I know this is a forum about applying to law Firms but my honest opinion is that if you don't get a TC this cycle you should take the FS offer. I know loads of people who have been unsuccessful in getting it so you have done super super well to get an offer! Alongside the work/life balance and pensions benefits as mentioned above, you also start work immediately.Does anyone else have a non-law job offer that they're seriously considering taking over a TC?? I got on the Fast Stream this year and I absolutely hated my 2nd year uni modules (tort/land especially) so if Dechert doesn't come thru with that £100,000 NQ salary I'm not sure what else could possibly motivate me to do the LPC 😂
Yep, I have an offer at an American finance company that I have waiting if law doesn't work outDoes anyone else have a non-law job offer that they're seriously considering taking over a TC??

Yeah, those are the right dates and I haven't heard anything either. I'm guessing we should hear by the end of today or tomorrow, latest? But yes, it's driving me insane too lol 🥲hate to sound like a broken record, but has anyone heard from Baker McKenzie post VI for summer vs. The email they sent me for the VI said we should hear by the end of Feb, with ACs schedule for march 2, 4, 10, 12, 16 (I think).
I hope so. I was starting to think I was the only one and that it is a PFO for sure.Yeah, those are the right dates and I haven't heard anything either. I'm guessing we should hear by the end of today or tomorrow, latest? But yes, it's driving me insane too lol 🥲
