I messaged them before they deleted, and they confirmed they got an offer for the DTC on Friday morning.

Do you know if this was straight after the AC? I thought there was supposed to be another partner interview between the AC and formal offer?

Just curious because I have my AC on Thursday. I was just assuming that even if it went well i would still have at least one more round before getting an offer!

@bellini tagging you because I saw your post upthread and wondered if you had any insights?

If I remember correctly, the mentioned person had their AC on 13th February and received the offer last Friday. If you have applied for the DTC, the AC is the final stage before the offer.

Do you have the DTC AC with Freshfields on Thursday this week?

Sorry I’m such a muppet. Someone was talking about Fieldfisher upthread and I got my FF’s confused.

Apologies.

A question about a few firms - when did people hear last year?

From Hogan Lovells post-Watson Glaser test; from King & Spalding post-application; from Fried Frank after applying there; after applying to Paul Hastings TC; from White & Case post-TC app?

Thank you so much in advance.
To my knowledge the latter 3 (Fried Frank, Paul Hastings and White & Case) are all non-rolling, and their deadlines are between May-July, so I think they would only start getting back to everyone that applied from June/July onwards. 🙂​
