Reed Smith SST applied on the 9th!

 

[Uvaia]

Yep! It does - well done! I just got the SST too and applied on 13 October; and now it’s time for me to blow my chances completely because I suck at SJTs 🥳

Thank you and Congrats!! 🥳 I re-read the e-mail and found the answer to my question. 😅 My e-mail says I have until the 6th so I intend to wait a few days before taking it. Good luck!! Fingers crossed we will do well.

Has anyone received an invite to the games for PWC. I submitted my application over 2 weeks ago but still nothing.

I am still yet to hear

Reed Smith SST! Anyone know of practice materials?

 

[Arf1309]

Has anyone else's application to CMS been reviewed post VI but not heard anything back?

Not sure what to read into this, cant be great news surely?

I’m in the same boat. I know AC invites have been sent out to London but not heard anything from the other offices. They could just be waiting until the deadline before sending any more AC invites so don’t lose hope! 🥰

For a video interview they ask you to record a practice answer which isn't assessed. Do I need to actually record myself answering this?

Have you applied for a regional CMS office?
I don't know what office to apply for with CMS because their regional salary is only 57k compared to 100k London.
I applied regional for Eversheds, but 62k to 95k is a smaller difference.

[Surrayia B]

Has anyone heard back from Eversheds yet?

is the reed smith SST automatic?

Does anyone know how to succeed in the SST? Can you prepare?

 

[futuretrainee202X]

On the same lines, was wondering if anyone has heard back from Skadden for a telephone interview (for those who applied in early December). Thanks

 

[Sachin Chandra]

I've got to the SST for Reed Smith. Does anyone have any tips for this?

 

[keepmewherethelightis]

Is anyone else still yet to apply to CMS? Deadline's on the 24th and I'm getting second thoughts now

Is Baker McKenzie WG automatic or do they screen applications beforehand? If the latter, does anyone know roughly what percentage of applicants get a WG invite?
