Does anyone know whether your past applications stay on firms databases I.e. so you can look at them on their website for next cycle to reflect. Or is it best to save them externally. I’m worried that my apps will just disappear/ be deleted once the cycle is over.

Each firm will have a data retention policy that will typically hold the data for a period of time (usually 6-12 months after the application closes or the recruitment concludes) but not indefinitely. Therefore, I would always recommend saving your applications for your our reasons/purposes.

To anyone that's done the power minigame on NRF's Arctic Shores, was there actually any pattern to it? I felt like that's the only game I had a gripe with

Hi,
I am filling out my application for Weil's direct TC rn. If when answering the question on what attracts me to Weil I mention their international aspect, is it a good idea to link it to my own international experience or should I stick to talking about the firm?

    I think you should always link it back to why their international aspect appeals to you. If you believe your own international experience substantiates that element, you should make it explicit!

    have NRF already sent out their next stage test?
    From my understanding with NRF, they review all applications after the deadline and then invite candidates as they go through the applications. Consequently, if you applied closer to the deadline, you'll probably be invited to complete the WG later than someone that applied earlier in the window.

    For context, I applied on the deadline last cycle and I was invited to complete a WG on 5th August.

    Hang in there!

    Did you get through the AC last cycle?

    Hey TCLA! Any advice/ guidance on first round with Morgan Lewis would be very much appreciated! Thank you! :)
    Hi, when did you apply? Would you happen to know if they are still looking at applications or have moved on to the next stage already? I haven't heard back from them post-application and am wondering if it is safe to assume a rejection by now. Thanks!
