How long does it take for Slaughters to confirm rejection/interview (non-law) after submitting app?

Does anyone have experience with PwC's online tests? Is it game-based like Ashurst or is it a CRT and SJT?

They used to be game based, it’s now more numerical graphs etc , SJ questions etc

Has anyone reached the Watson Glaser stage with Bird & Bird? How long do they usually take to respond after application?

Hey @Zaidoz10 . I’m unsure about this year in particular, but last year this took about 1-2 weeks when I had applied.

Is it normal to not hear back from Pwc for a few days after an application? Seems like it’s an automatic thing that you get to do online tests?

Is the Watson Glaser test automated or next stage? I applied today, so I will let you know when I hear back.

Thank you Amma!

The website has it as its own stage so I assume it’s selective? @Amma Usman could you please clarify?

Hey @Zaidoz10 and @TrainingContract2024 , when I applied last year, it was on its own stage.

Anyone heard from SH post interview?

yeah got an invite for the assessment centre on Tuesday

 

[tc_hopeful]

Does anyone here know when direct tc interviews are typically held? I know some firms designate a few weeks for interviewing candidates, and other firms interview throughout the year, but is there a general timeline? For example, January to April/May?

 

[SamiyaJ]

Does anyone know of any firms that allow you to do the SQE alongside the training contract? Thanks!

I have applied to Gowling TC and email said test would be sent within 7 days, it’s been a week and still haven’t received anything. Anyone else have the same issue?

Another month, another wait for PMC. Surely this has to be a record 😂

I applied in Feb and heard back in August. Think it depends on the office you apply for but I am not sure.

Anyone know the deadline to take the pinsent masons online test ? Can’t see a deadline on the email.

We just have to get it done before the overall deadline. This is what I heard from grad rec.
