Anyone still haven't heard from CC on direct TC after passing the WG?
Has anyone done their WG for CMS in October or November and not yet received a VI?
McDermott, Will & Emery?
More like McDermott, Will they ever get back to me? 💔

Would anyone be able to clarify if Mischon are rolling or non-rolling please? It has the following on their website:
We don't recruit on a rolling basis and whilst we do read all Vacation Scheme applications that have been submitted, we would recommend that you look to apply earlier to give you the best chance of securing an assessment day with us.
While that explicitly states they're non-rolling, why would they recommend you apply earlier if they're non-rolling? Seems contradictory so wondered if anyone knows?!

Anyone knows when we get to hear back from Linklaters? Applications closed very recently but was just curious to know if we could expect a specific timeframe
Most likely January / Feb, someone checked last years forums and that was the frame

I suspect this means they review applications as they go but that hiring decisions are not made on a rolling basis.
This is the problem with “rolling basis” it actually means several different approaches.
I agree.
I applied to the firm quite early on in the application window and got a rejection email only a few weeks after applying.
They said they’ll get back to candidates by the 20th. So I’d say Wednesday is when they’ll get back to everyone.
@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre I did a VI for a law firm recently and got a question that I wasn’t necessarily ready for and so therefore had to come up with an answer on the spot. The question was something along the lines of “How do you handle work pressure, and what work environments or situations do you feel pressured by?” I spoke about two points for the first part of the question, which was that I handle work pressure by prioritising my tasks (I gave an example of handling many clients and conflicting deadlines at a legal advice clinic I worked), and I also talked about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, as it helps me handle the pressure. For the second part of the question I said that dealing with very tight and conflicting deadlines is a type of situation that pressures me, but because of my ability to prioritise my tasks, I’ve been able to overcome that pressure throughout my previous work experiences. Would you guys say that is an adequate answer and that I have answered the question? Really nervous about this one! Sorry for the long message, thank you!
