[Jessica Booker]

If a TC is set to start in September, does this usually mean the beginning or end of the month?

There is no fixed time. It could be any time period in that month.

@Amma Usman @Andrei Radu and anyone else able to help

White & Case says "you’ll rotate through four six-month seats: one overseas, one in Finance and one in a contentious practice area."

Could you help me understand the difference between investment funds, financial regulation and private equity seats within Finance? And what kind of tasks are typically assigned in each?

Thanks!!

does anyone know with the K&S assessment centre if you are allowed notes for the presentation

It‘s worth asking this to be sure, though I do not see why note-taking shouldn’t be allowed, unless maybe they’re assessing your ability to digest concepts quickly in constricted time-frames. However, ensure to confirm with GR as they will have the best answer to this.

Same here...wondering then if unlike other firms that send the WG tests automatically, Howard Kennedy does not automatically sent to everyone and instead this is officially the next stage in their process?

It is the next stage and not automatic

It's strengths based/situational judgement, it's really helpful if you read their link they sent so you have their core values and competencies they look for in mind while you do it. Still answer and rank the questions as honestly as you can because at the end of the day it's about how you would make decisions as an individual.
If I remember correct when I did it for their placement(which includes TC consideration), there was no maths based test. Just ranking answers, recognising arguments section.

thank you!
