I really hope they haven't handed out all TIs :/

I’ve seen a few on here but hoping they scatter them out. I just wish they all did PFOs/next stages at the same time 😭

Does anyone know how long W&C take to get back post-AC? Or has anyone heard back already for summer who did the AC’s this week? Thank you

I had a friend who applied to W&C last cycle and they took over a month post-AC. I think they’ve still got a lot of summer ones to get through and they seem to drag through until April with ACs so imagine it could be a while!

Woohoo Mishcon PFO post-VI🫡 that marks the last VS app I am likely ever going to do. Moving on to direct TCs !

 

[Lawyer500]

Do you know if this was for spring or summer?

They do it all in one - so you can pick but it is first come first serve.

Anyone still waiting on Travers?

Thing is they said in my interview on Monday that they would let me know by the end of this week or early next week so I hope that is the case.

I just think of rejection as redirection and learn from that experience. It does pinch but then I think next time it might happen.

This is a healthy approach to take.

Anyone still waiting on Travers?

Not sure if a PFO is imminent as they have been interviewing for around 2 weeks now

 

[saj2002]

Has anyone completed BDB Pitmans' VI?

 

[Legalstalker]

Mishcon PFO post VI. A bit gutted! But that’s the end of my cycle. Best of luck everyone!

You had a successful cycle with 2 offer!!! well done

 

[futuretrainee2025]

@Legalstalker how long did you wait from Goodwin post-ac? I didn't apply but I remember you waited a while for yours and im overthinking bc a firm said they'd get back to me in a week and no news yetttt

 

[neonorange]

Every time I've sat down to record a VI this week I've looked at myself in the silly little camera app and just closed the interview because the burnout is so real. How many more times can I convince my laptop about my motivations for a career in the law pleeeease 😭

Anyone heard back from ML post Tele Interview?

 

[lookingforaTC]

anything from Russell Cooke?

 

[PlimptonWeld]

absolutely shafted this cycle - nothing...

 

[legally.brown]

I saw a travers summer offer on linkedin!
there goes my hope lol💀

 

[tanamontana]

Is it necessarily a bad thing to mention the same deal a firm worked on in a video interview as you did in the written application ? I'm not sure if they compare the VI to the written app or not

 

[Cawareness101]

if you haven’t heard back from Travers - is it a rejection?
