There is no need to link it to the firm unless the question explicitly asks you to do so. However, you will want to choose a topic that is of interest to the firm (in that it will impact their clients or their business).
The STAR format is only for competency questions (eg - “tell me about a time you have done x”). The STAR format x 3 is likely to make your answer too long.@Jessica Booker or anybody who has any insight - during an AC, how should we structure our answer to ‘why you?’
I had thought highlighting three key skills, each with an example in the STAR format, would work well. In practice, I’ve found that this seems to take too long, but any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!
No - not an issue@Jessica Booker is it a massive red flag if grad rec had to call me to remind me to confirm an interview slot? i usually am not this forgetful but for some reason i keep forgetting to reply this particular firm!
WHITE & CASE AC LET’S GOOOOOOO🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I applied on 13/2. If anyone has any advice on how I can prep for the 75 minute written exercise, I will be like eternally grateful

tyy I applied earlyish December and received it today morningcongrats!! when did you apply? and when did u get the invite?
I think it will depend on the firm. Some firms are clear that they require you to do the SQE in a certain location as they may have a deal with a provider (e.g. City Consortium SQE has to be done at BPP Holborn). Other firms may be more flexible. I would contact your firm to ask about this.Can anyone confirm that if I accept a London TC, I have to complete the SQE in London?
because all firms give an SQE grant, am I allowed to take that money and register to do the SQE up north so I can live at home, or even not take the grant and stay up north and complete SQE? Hope this makes sense lol.
no, have you?Has anyone emailed them? I'm too scared icl 🤣
