wow 1st and final stage interviews? so sad to hear some of us haven’t been responded to - but I appreciate you mentioning this as I can safely assume a PFO now 💀

Hey all, I have my very first AC coming up and not sure what to expect in terms of how the day is organized, since it's only 2 assessments but the AC is over 5 hours long. Are there other stuff you do during an AC? Pls excuse my very elementary question lol, would love any insight on the structure of the day in general!
Also the AC I'm doing is virtual b/c I'm based outside the UK, if that changes things.

@axelbeugre would love to hear your thoughts!

There might be breaks scheduled, and a trainee Q&A.

 

[AnonKn635]

Is there any general view on how grad rec weight their decisions on AC's? I performed really well in the interview but pretty average in the written task, not bad but certainly not my best work. I wonder if generally the interview aspect is weighted heavier or if anyone has any insights about still getting a VS offer after a pretty mediocre written exercise! Any info would be great, thanks.

this about latham?

 

[hannah04]

anyone have winston & strawn's grad rec email?

Firms like this really make me question this ridiculous process, at least they should have the decency to reject - for an application sent 2+ months ago
