Thank you, just feel slightly drained! All part of the learning, I guess - onwards and upwards

Feel like my telephone interview with Browne Jacobson didn’t go well 🥲 have to wait all weekend now good luck anyone else!!
I felt like my NRF TI went badly too but I ended up getting an AC spot! Its a great achievement to get this far and its so easy to become your own worst critic in these situations, especially because you can't see the interviewers reactions to your answers!
Looks like it’s gonna be another day without any news from Reed Smith😔 they could have just told us they were gonna let us know on the Friday instead of making us all fret and anxious the entire week
It’s a normal SJT with a small little WG section at the end. It’s quite easy.
Guys after three years of applying I’ve finally received a Vac scheme offer I fully can’t believe I’m typing this!
It's just so peculiar that the AC's start in a few days and no-one on the forum appears to have gained a summer one... If a single person just said, 'Summer AC!' then I would know it was a PFO; but, that hasn't happened. Maybe we've just all been incredibly unlucky and no-one here has got one!
The silver lining for this is that surely they MUST tell us tomorrow as the first one is on Monday! 🤣
I guess they are really having a hard time processing us, the summer VS applicants. I wouldn't find it surprising given the bigger candidate pool and the fact that this is the first year they do strength-based interviews.
Perhaps it is a lot more time-consuming going through all the candidates than in previous years and they underestimated it......
I don’t think it’s just the summer VS applicants bc a lot of spring VS candidates haven’t heard either. And if it was the case where only the successful spring VS candidates have been put forward, then surely the rest of us spring VS candidates should have got out PFO by now.
Just quoting myself so I can appreciate the irony.
Got the call today, RPC Summer Scheme invite 🥳
I've just finished an interview and I can't stop thinking about a million other ways I could have answered some of the questions to make my answers better e.g. 'should have said this/should have said that', missed out an important point in my answer, should have rambled less here and there (could tell that the interviewer found it hard to follow what I was saying because at some points I rambled for too long and now I just wish that I had cut down some of my answers)
I know there's no point dwelling on it since the interview is now over and there's literally nothing I can do to fix my mistakes, and I'm also aware that we're often our own worst critics. But would appreciate if anyone can shed light on how to deal with the post-AC slump lol. I won't hear back until March so I think my mental health will take a hard hit in February if I don't learn to manage my emotions properly. I don't want to be too harsh on myself but at the same time I don't want to get my hopes up too early in case I get rejected.
This was my first ever AC so I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself to get a perfect outcome. But any advice on this would be helpful!

I wonder what was the point of giving us false hopes with the second holding email? They must have sent all AC invites on Saturday imo 🙃🙃
Ngl I was still feeling hopeful/optimistic with RS
Let's see what happens tomorrow! Also, if they sent AC invites last Sat, the rest of us might also hear back on Sat so another day to potentially wait
At least we got each other ahaha
