I'm not sure the Big 4 TCs are really in-house - an in-house role will involve addressing the legal needs of the company at which you work. Big 4 training is, much like at a law firm, providing legal services to external clients. I would in many ways consider gov't TCs more in the vein of in-house work.

Congrats! May I ask when you applied? Trying to get a sense of their turnaround time
I had actually applied for their winter scheme but they said they ran out of interview slots and that they'd consider me for the spring and summer schemes instead so that's what I have my AC for. From experience, they usually get back to you within 3 weeks but they did say that they had received a lot of applications for this cycle so may take a while
Thank you! Only got until Friday to complete the test, and going to visit my parents, so very stressed now!
Akin Gump I got a really low percentile for compared to Linklaters which I got a really high percentile.
Wish firms would stop ghosting me 😔😔
Its only a real worry when it starts happening on tinder as well
HSF Summer VS AC!!! 😭 Cannot believe it! Does anyone have any advice how best to prepare for the AC as I've heard HSF's are notoriously hard? TIA ☺️
Does anyone know what reference group Freshfields uses for the WG? I'm scoring around 34/40 on practice ones and trying to aim better but not sure if that will end up being a really low %?

Although it seems they have reopened the application again!

Even if people do know, it doesn’t really mean much unfortunately - there are other factors that will influence percentile scores.
Thank you
Applied on 1st Dec and completed the online assessment a couple of days after!
@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica, I have a question about mentioning other firms I've applied to during interviews. I know and I've been told that it's good to mention that you've been invited to assessment centres at other firms because it shows that you're wanted, but from a grad recruiters perspective, what would be your view on if I mentioned I did an AC at a competitor but I was ultimately rejected? Would that look bad on me, or can I try twist it to show what I've learned? If they probe me and ask what the result was I obviously wouldn't want to lie
RS, just send my PFO pls I'm tired of waiting
