Got an email saying my application outcome will be discussed by March 28th at the latest. Is that what you meant
Don't know if I'm overthinking but here goes - in an interview I referred to an acquisition a firm had worked on. I named the seller and figure however made a mistake on the name of the buyer and only realised afterwards. On a scale of 1-10 (where 1 is meh and 10 is catastrophic) how badly would this be taken? Obvs every firm is different but insights welcome 
I sort of had this last year with a firm that basically couldn't make up its mind about recruiting for TCs so they introduced a new stage of the process which was a "mini VS" - 2 days long. In the end they made the TC decisions based on the AC and didn't take the VS into account at all which was super frustrating and made the mini VS feel like a huge waste of time...
I find it hard to believe that the firm didn’t take the mini VS into account when making decisions, to be honest.
Yes so did I and I challenged it with GR in my feedback call but was assured all candidates' performance was too close in the VS that they had to go back to the AC feedback instead 🤷♀️ Didn't get any feedback at all on the mini VS/essentially 2 day AC 🙄 All very frustrating but made it clear the firm just wasn't for me!
Almost 3 months after doing the Mayer Brown Job Simulation, I've finally got my (slightly savage) PFO, wooo
I think Travers are still allocating them, I know people have interviews for the next two weeks (W/C 14th, W/C 21st)
I haven’t heard either - I would wait to see if they reply by today if not then maybe email on Monday
Rumour has it there have been sightings of tumbleweed in Mishcon’s Grad Rec office…
After an exciting cycle, completing various ACs and receiving some VS offers, I am happy to announce that the Mayer Brown team have finally decided to come back into the office and send me the PFO after the video interview I did in early December 😅...
I just got an interview for the last week of March today - so I definitely still being given out! Best of luck xI think Travers are still allocating them, I know people have interviews for the next two weeks (W/C 14th, W/C 21st)
