None in my cohort but I spoke to trainees/associates/partners in the firm who were career changers. I would 10/10 recommend emailing the GR team as they will be able to advise you if there is a different process!
I'm trying to finalise my Burges Salmon vacation scheme application. The first question - Why are you applying to Burges Salmon for a vacation scheme? has a 600 character limit which I am really struggling with.
Is it okay to bullet point reasons as I'm finding I can just about fit one point in with limited explanation or maybe i'm mistaken with the character limit, it seems very tight?

I have my application ready but wondering if I want to deal with them. I am really prioritising my mental health and cannot be bothered with BS!
PFO from A&O - submitted the app in late August, and got the SJT results at the end of September. Good luck to everyone else! 
Ah, I am in a very similar position. If nothing comes up by end of monday I think i may email grad rec to follow up 😪
New here - got accepted onto A&O winter vac scheme yesterday! Does anyone know how many of their vac schemers get a training contract?
Yeah that’s very true. It’s just so annoying spending ages on an application for the firm to just not even reply. I can take a rejection email, but to just not ever hear back is so frustrating. I suppose it depends if there’s something about the firm that really appeals to you, and maybe try to submit it and then forget about it until (if) they email back?
To be honest, I am using shipping as a safety net but there are other more interesting sectors.
I am also considering Stephenson H. but their diversity stats are awful!
Hi Seb really sorry to hear about that. Do u mind me asking whether you got the PFO sent today or was it earlier this week? thanksPFO from A&O - submitted the app in late August, and got the SJT results at the end of September. Good luck to everyone else!
HSF AC invite T_T would hugely appreciate any tips for their interview!! thank you 🙏
Yeah I read that a few years ago some of their trainees and grad rec were laughing at job applicants on a train too.
Omg please tell me more! I’m currently filling out their application and would consider myself to be an ethnic minority!
