Does anyone else overthink a lot after an AC/interview? Had one today and thought it went well but starting to think about anything that could have gone wrong :D

I really relate this! I left one feeling very positive, aware of a few things that I’d like to change if I did it again. Hours later..days later... pulling apart of everything in my head hahaha

    Congrats!! May I ask when you applied?
    I applied in October but they've only been reviewing apps following the December open day! I also think that they're only responding to people who are available to interview at certain times i.e. there's a section on the form at the beginning that asks you to list dates you're not available to interview and I'd forgotten I'd said I wasn't available to interview in January due to exams so if you haven't heard back yet that might be why!

    Is anyone else still waiting from Mayer Brown post tests? Getting a bit worried I’ve missed the chance now AC’s are being dished out...

    In the course of the last 24 hours:

    - I had a VI and at some point I had a cough fit which took over 15 second from my answer and I kept on sneezing throughout the rest of the interview. So, apparently having an interview when you're sick is not the best idea, kids.

    - I got a rejection following an application that I spent hours on and then received an AC invite for the one that took me 30min to write.

    - I spilled coffee on my light grey carpet and I have been googling how to get rid of stains ever since. The stain is still there, nothing works. I am planning on moving the furniture around and passing this burden to the next tenant. #oops

    Life can be quite funny sometimes.

    Well done!!
    What firm did you receive the AC invite with? :)

    Who’s still waiting on DLA Piper? :rolleyes:

    edit: a rumour has been going around that DLA have completed all their AC’s? Is this true, has anyone asked GR about this. I’ve emailed them, but they haven’t responded!
