hey I have an AC with them coming up, do you have any tips from your experience ?? Hope it went wellGot an AC invite for Taylor Wessing on Wednesday! Its my first AC so if anyone had any tips/advice I'd really appreciate it
would also be very interested in hearing any tips for the interview.Does anyone who’s had their in-person interview and presentation with V&E have any tips? I’ve only ever had one interview before and I’m super nervous
I received an offer yesterday via emailHey all, has anyone received an offer for OC's Bristol office VS? I know people who have had post-AC rejections but haven't heard of any acceptances thus far 🤨
This shouldn't be a huge deal - I've had screeners simply be unable to verify things (as an international man of mystery) and they've either dropped or just asked me to sign something attesting that it's trueIf you make an error in a pre-employment screening form for a VS but swiftly reach out to the provider to rectify this, is this fine ie are providers generally flexible and understanding about this?
The provider is performing the checks on behalf of the firm.
This is not an issue - mistakes happen.If you make an error in a pre-employment screening form for a VS but swiftly reach out to the provider to rectify this, is this fine ie are providers generally flexible and understanding about this?

Guys what do you usually ask to an associate of a firm where you want to apply to? I have the opportunity to have a chat tomorrow.
Haven't done a V&E interview before but linking some of TCLA's posts to help you prep for interviews/ACs more generally.If anyone’s done the Vinson & Elkins interview and feels like they could help me out, I’d be grateful to chat. Never had an interview before and feel a bit nervous about what I’m getting myself into. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the recommendation @sami.rehman 💪There's a really great podcast episode on Spotify with BrightNetwork and Chris Stoakes (author of 'All You Need to Know About the City') called 'Thinking Commercially' where he breakdowns blockchain, NFTs and their implications on the legal sphere.

Hey @S87,When it is the right moment to ask about salary? When I applied to Sky, I did not check on glassdoor (stupid me) thinking that it was an international company so..pays well. The reviews are miserable, can I ask the HR? I do not want to sound like a money chaser but I have a mortgage, I live in London and need to travel a lot so the travel expenses are likely to balloon.
Not unreasonable to bring it up at interview - I had one interview recently where salary came up in the first 5 minutes and we called it a day cause their budget was a massive lowball compared to what was on the table for other roles I was in process for - it was good to not waste anyone's time.When it is the right moment to ask about salary?

What they do, why they do it, how they got there are all worth asking. As you go through the kind of boilerplate questions little bits will come up that you can follow into more detail to improve understanding and build rapportGuys what do you usually ask to an associate of a firm where you want to apply to?
