    If I received a TC offer yesterday, have until next Tuesday to accept and just had a diff AC yesterday too (with Firm 2), should I call Firm 2 and tell them that I need an answer? Bearing in mind Firm 2 said they would get back to me 'mid next week'. What's the best thing to do in this situ please? @Jessica Booker any idea, please?

    I’d probably phrase it a little softer than you needing an answer. Give them a call, explain you have an offer and say you were calling to see if there was any possibility you could get an update by either Friday or Monday as that could help you make decision ahead of Tuesday.

    Ah sorry to hear this! If you don’t mind me asking, was this after the partner & HR interviews or after your assessment day?
    Didn't get to either stage, they were obviously following a reject by ignoring people strategy. Had an AC at Forsters and still heard nothing about that, even though grad rec said we would hear last week on the day

    Anyone heard from Orrick?
    Saw someone here saying he's received PFO from them beginning of Aug but I haven't heard back post app. Their recruitment brochure says they offer training contracts by the end of Aug so don't know why we haven't received anything. I emailed them yesterday and will keep you posted here once I get a response. I'm in the same position with BCLP, Ashurst, GD, and Akin Gump as well. Guess we should just assume rejection and proceed with the next cycle of apps that are opening.
    Would be great to have insights from any veteran members here if it actually means anything not even getting a rejection email :)

    Thank you - that'd be so helpful :) Haven't heard from Akin either - so will let you know if I hear anything!
