I wish they would give the scores before I wasted a day writing two 500 word answers.

Yes, that would be a good indication and something to mention for sure, that is a starting point for sure. You could potentially look at law firms who are really strong in the sectors that the firm you applied to is good at too, as well as, law firms they have been against in previous deals/cases too. This was my approach when reflecting on questions like this.When prepping for the classic "who are our competitors?" question, would it be logical to look at where the firm has recently 'poached' lawyers from? If there's a trend of lawyers moving over from a specific firm that would indicate they're competitors right?
Unfortunately this is hard to tell but realistically speaking no. I have friends who applied to firms that they interviewed with the year before and still got rejected after application stage and did not receive an interview.If you get progressed to interview stages for firms in one cycle, is it necessary the same will happen next cycle?
Alongside what @Jessica Booker has highlighted, it is important to note that there are less spots for direct training contracts. Some firms only recruit 1 or 2 people from the direct training contract route, which makes the process very hard.Are there any disadvantages to applying for a direct training contract with a firm as opposed to going through the vacation scheme route? @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre
This is not a stupid question in the slightest so do not apologise!Hi @axelbeugre this might be a stupid question but which practice helps the client to determine how an acquistion should be structured? would this just be corporate?
Haven’t even heard post online test ahahHas anyone heard from Mayer Brown post job sim for spring? It’s been nearly 2 months so I’m assuming a pfo is coming😭
Assuming PFO, given that someone said Friday was the last round of interviews for the SVS (Anyone still haven't hear back from Travers?
Hey! I asked my interviewer about this and she advised that everyone gets fast-tracked to an AC for a training contract! It must just be an error on their website!On the CMS website it says that the insight scheme may fast-track you to an AC for a training contract. I’ve been offered a place on the IS but am nervous that it’ll lead to no TC offer 😩 does anyone have any advice?
Congrats! Did you have to do the Life at Mayer Brown trainee job simulation?Mayer Brown AC!!
