Yes this used to happen to me all the time - everyone's different but what I started doing was learning facts about firms in isolation (e.g. X firm represents 80% of the world's largest asset managers) and testing myself on them (before I would learn it as part of a prepared answer i.e. why x firm, which meant whenever the question would vary it slightly I wouldn't be able to mentally locate that piece of info / would start to panic)

Hi !! I am applying to WBD and wondered if anyone could help me with this application question.
'Considering the location in which you wish to train; tell us about a local project or development that has interested you. Explain why it is of interest and how, as a business, we could provide support.'
Thank you!!!

This might appear to be a random question but I’m trying to figure out whether the ACs are arranged chronologically or by GBA-determined traits (perhaps a long shot!):
Did your report state that you are risky or less risky?
Thank you and well done on the AC!
Slaughter and May Summer VS offer!! @gt1465 - I also needed to know earlier and I called them -they were really understanding and let me know ASAP
Hmm it says I am kind of centre leaning towards less risky
It is okay we move on. But what I really want to know was it an IT error or did they send that out to the wrong applicant.
Hi !! I would be applying for London - I am just so confused as to what they mean. Would it be say be a local community project ??
Hi I started a thread for the WBD application question to discuss it
WBD Application Question 2022
Hello guys, I thought of creating a thread for WBD application question. The point of this thread is to discuss the application question and how to approach the application question. The application question - Considering the location in which you wish to train; tell us about a local...

You can have a look at this thread and a discussion about some suggestions.
Thank you so much!! And congrats!! I got ahold of them today finally and theyre working on it for me 🎉🎉
I think it’s purposefully broad and vague. I read it as a property development or construction/planning project that is or has happened recently. The Battersea Power Station development springs to mind.
I’d go about it like this: first, have a think about what interests you. This could be anything from your hobbies to particular law firm practice areas you’re interested in. Starting here is important as they want to know why it interests you - this is what helps you stand out from the crowd. ➡️ With an idea of what interests you, see what’s happening in London in connection to that. For example, maybe you’re interested in renewable energy, and there’s a construction project in London designed to install X amount of EV charging points by the end of 2022. ➡️ With an idea in mind, you can now explain why it interests you. Maybe you did a course on renewable energy and liked how it combined new technology and problem solving ➡️ then tie your question into how the firm can assist. I remember WBD has a strong energy sector focus, so there’s lots of knowledge they can support with on a project around clean energy. For example, construction, development, planning advice.
Hope this helps!
Has anyone ever completed a VI with PWC? if yes, do you have any tips for preparation? PWC VI format seems quite different to normal ones..
I remember from last year they had a question about 3D printers in the video interview.
Hey everyone, bit of a unique question today - I have a CV based interview coming up and I wrote down that I run a small business. Could the law firm ask me questions like "what is your annual turnover, profit margins, how much you pay your employees/in tax" like really dragon den style questions to test my commercial awareness or are questions like these construed as inappropriate?
