    Gowling's feedback is absolutely useless .... they should at least show some respect after going through 4 long stages
    I had a friend last cycle who was able to get more info on their feedback so I was hoping to get the same but I haven't even gotten replies to my emails yet lol. Mine were all positive apart from group task bits where I couldn't have even seen where I would've been able to display all of them ??

    I have a doctors appointment on Monday at the same time as I’m meant to be having an interview. It’s not an urgent medical issue but it would definitely be nice to get it sorted as soon as possible for peace of mind and comfort. The next available apppointment is mid April. Is this a reasonable enough reason to ask if the firm will reschedule my interview or will it reflect badly on me? Would really appreciate any advice

    As a means of update for those still waiting as well, I emailed Dechert as I haven't heard back since completing my VI and written task. They told me they were still in the process of reviewing interviews and written tasks. Hopefully we'll hear back soon
    Thanks for this! I'm in the same position as you. Please keep me in the loop!

    Would anyone be willing to advise me on what's the best next steps to take in my situation? I don't wanna derail this particular thread so happy to send someone a brief PM of my circumstances. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I wanna make sure I take the right steps to not reduce my chances of pursuing my ultimate goal. @AvniD @Jessica Booker @Jaysen

    just tagging a couple of staff members in case...

    I think it's completely reasonable to ask.

    On a side note, people being scared of prioritising their own health (whatever it is) over some stupid interviews is what is really wrong with this profession. It should not really be like that.

    To anyone who has accepted the VS offer for Osborne Clarke .. have you heard any confirmation of your acceptance yet? This is my first VS and I have no idea what happens, I accepted a week ago and have had no reply or anything is that normal
    I accepted my VS offer for the Bristol office on Friday and haven’t had a confirmation either. It’s also my first so not got a clue either 🤣
