Hopefully 1 or 3

Hey! I’m in the same position. I applied to Dechert on the 9th December and haven’t heard anything back. I kind of assumed I was rejected because most people got a video interview invite less than 2 weeks after :s
Would you be able to let me know what they say? Thankyou!

 

[Olivia99]

I would take it as a positive. Heard back today and got a rejection, unfortunately.

Sorry to hear about that Mark. Hope you hear some good news soon!

Mark, sorry to hear this. I know it sucks (if you times 3 by 10 thats how many PFOs I have faced, trust me, you become immune to them after a whi


Just talking about those stupid locks makes me so frustrated . If anyone managed to compete that then they deserve a TC for that alone.

If you dont mind me asking what score did you get?



You have to pass the SJT to get a mobile game invite - but the invite is automatic and the firm does not actually check so I think thats why they review it all after the deadline to get a average.

Haha I didn't want to be rude about the game but honestly it was so crap, I hated every second of it. The report they sent me after is not a true reflection of my qualities either. I doubt I have gotten through, and the only reason i have applied second time around (I applied last year) is so I could try a different game technique and see if I could get through.

I remember the first time I was really heavy handed and kept popping the balloons, not trying to take time and understand the games and also I took ages last time to keep doing levels and this time I sent myself a limit of 8 times to try and crack the safe.

I do not think I will give it a 3rd go next year if I'm still trying for the TC...

Has anybody heard back from CC post AC for TC? We were told we would hear *by* Friday but apparently they are not contacting anybody until the last interviews are finished? Usually successful candidates are contacted the next day or is that just for VS?

Bakers AC invite! Has anyone done an AC at Bakers before? Would appreciate any help/advice!

 

[Y]

Congrats!! Were you in the morning session?

yes I was
although I was 45 minutes late because of a train delay so if you were there you might not have seen me!

Hi Hana!

Congratulations! I've done it last year (still haven't heard back). It consisted of 3 questions (focused on you, no commercial awareness stuff at this stage). Can't remember if I had 60 or 90 seconds to respond but it was either of the two.

Good luck!

Hi Aleks,

Thank you for the information. Your amazing.

 

[h2020]

All those waiting for a reply after the Simmons VI. Did you manage to complete the verbal and logical tests too. I was sent the VI, logical and verbal test at the same time. They get back to you fairly quickly if you pass the tests.

hope this helps!

Bakers AC invite! Has anyone done an AC at Bakers before? Would appreciate any help/advice!

I haven't done an AC with Bakers but attended their open day in December where they went over the AC structure and some of the things they're looking for.

From speaking to the Trainees I would advise to be yourself as each trainee I spoke to was selected because of a specific interest/ personal experience they had that brought something new to the team. I.E. one guy had been a video game tech for X years before studying the GDL.

 

[Lauren]

Congratulations!! I was in the afternoon session, I'm still waiting to hear back

yes I was
although I was 45 minutes late because of a train delay so if you were there you might not have seen me!

Anyone heard back from Dentons yet after submitting the app? (submitted almost two weeks ago now) How long did it take to receive the WG link? Haven’t gotten a link to yet and getting worried.
