What does the email say? Haven't got one yet but fully expecting a PFO 🙃
"Many thanks again for applying to Gateley and for your patience in awaiting next steps following the video assessments. We have been delighted with the level of applications we’ve had through and we’re excited to progress to the next stage of recruitment.

Just to keep you informed of our timelines, these assessments are currently being reviewed and we should have the results available to us by the end of week commencing 11th March.

From then we can advise you if you have been successful in gaining a place on one of our assessment centres which are due to commence w/c 1st April."

then they list the available AC dates for the office i applied to - tbh i wouldnt look too much into this email rn, im pretty sure they send it to everyone so stay put!

I always did it so I personally think it does not hurt to do it!

You will come off as a nice person regardless. I do not think that this will make or break your chances of getting the offer, but it is always nice to appreciate people's time and effort in my opinion.
If I had an interview on Wednesday do you reckon it’s too late to do so?

I graduated from law school in 2023 and applied for vacation schemes this cycle. I did make it to VI stages for a couple of firms and have three decisions pending. However, I not relying on these decisions and I am preparing for the next cycle now. I am not currently doing anything but I am looking for work experience so I have something to show for the next cycle.

What kind of work experience is preferred? that may put me at an advantage.

I’ve found commercial experience in banking and PE helpful if you’re looking to apply to US firms

There are so many more opportunities if you live in London. Where I live I could only dream for these kind of roles 🥹
Fully agree. London has a lot of opportunities (whether part time or not). If you work hard and focus, you are rewarded. In other parts of England, you either need connections or be lucky to even find a part time retail role
