Same! do you guys know whether the written exercise is done in conjunction with the first interview or is a separate step before them?

Is this likely to be in person?

no clue, I dont think so I think their first stage vi is virtual but don't quote me on it!

 

[svb risk management intern]

Anyone heard anything from Linklaters DTC?

 

[t-0147]

I wish that if behavioral assessments or SJT include WG elements, it is disclosed. How can people who require adjustments ask for them if they they don't know they need to?

Hey, did anyone hear from Sullivan & Cromwell this week? A PFO or an invite (just trying to understand their timeline)

 

[legal_student2024]

I haven’t heard anything yet. Applied for the London office so a bit nervous given that someone has already heard!

 

[ashwright]

Question for anyone who has received a WG from Freshfields - how soon after completing the Online Assesment did you receive the WG?
Thank you so much!

I applied Jan 10th. PFO on 16th Jan. It was a v last min app lol so i was not surprised.

 

[mariistm]

Still haven’t heard anything from CMS Bristol after VI 😔 last year I heard on the 4th of Jan… AllHires website doesn’t say that the VI has been reviewed. Don’t know what to think, trying to keep hopes up but expecting PFO

 

[Tintin06]

Any more updates from Freshfields post-SJT? Any Watson Glaser invites sent yet?

 

[shays]

speaking of Freshfields, what were your lowest scoring skills? mine was judgement and honestly idk what to think about that
