Congratulations on the offer šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜Just had my interview and it was not as bad as I thought it would be given the reputation of US firms. You were right in saying it was quite relaxed. I donā€™t think the partner liked me that much as I felt we didnā€™t manage to find a connection. In any case, it was a good experience.

How long did you have to wait after your interview to find out the outcome?
Iā€™m sure you did well! Some partners can come across as slightly cold but that doesnā€™t mean your performance was bad. I heard back about 8 days later but Iā€™m sure youā€™ll probably hear back on Friday. :)

Thanks, we'll see ahah Don't have much hope tbh as I know how important it is to establish a connection from past interviews

I'd say its actually a minority of firms that do a blind recruitment process at any stage of the process.
Thank you Jessica :) I have another question, if thatā€™s ok? I contacted a firm to ask if they would consider me if I didnā€™t fit their criteria (top uni, strong 2.1); my degree is from a top uni, but a low 2.1. They said that they would encourage me to apply - would they say this if they didnā€™t mean it? I donā€™t want to spend many hours researching them further and then writing an application, if they actually wouldnā€™t consider me and theyā€™re just being polite!
