Has anyone done the interactive assessment for Stephenson Harwood? Can you please share about your experince and any tips you have?
Hey everyone, not sure how to write this but i'm feeling super anxious and overwhelmed about an upcoming AC. It is my first ever one and just feels like there is a never ending amount of info i need to learn about commercial vocab, case studies, written exercises etc. I feel so much pressure as its the only i have received and its really getting to me. Also there is a lot of personal stuff going on meaning i already feel stretched thin. The AC is not till the 14th March, but because i work full time it just feels like all my free time is going to have to go towards prep, but im not feelng like ill be good enough in that time. Just feel sad tbh. Does anyone have any tips, having felt the same way before?
Kirkland PFO post-VI. Really running out of opportunities here 🫠
At the AC they said they offer around 30 VS places across spring and summer and give 7-10 TCs per year, some which might already be filledHi, does anyone know what percentage of Milbank VS people get TC offers?
I know they only recruit from their VS but I’m curious as to roughly what % get recruited from their VS. Thanks
That’s quite competitiveAt the AC they said they offer around 30 VS places across spring and summer and give 7-10 TCs per year, some which might already be filled
i did a WC AC yesterday but when i booked my slot there was literally only a singular day and time so i think they’re doing a slightly strange very slow process this time around
Yes I feel the exact same way!!! I have my first AC next week for a firm I really really want to work at but the prep is swallowing me alive. I’ve been drowning in commercial awareness that I feel like I’m applying to bloody vanguard or black rock😭
I have 3 AC’s in the space of a week from next week and whilst it’s an amazing opportunity the stress that comes with it is ridiculous.
I work full time too and after work I’m soo tired I wanna sleep but there’s no time to sleep.
I’ve practiced about 15 different competency questions and I still can’t remember what I need to say for them. I’ll have no notes so I dunno if I’ll survive the day tbh. I’ve spoken to previous candidates who have done AC’s for the firm and their advice has been great but it just sounds soo full on.
The exercises themselves seem like they’re trying to make you fail and I really don’t see me being able to talk to a partner for 25 minutes on a case study without forgetting something crucial and on top of all of that I have to remember their values and what they’re looking for a trainee!
I love law and would love to be a commercial lawyer and all the stress that comes with it but I also just want to sip cocktails on a beach 😭
You got this!! They wouldn’t give you an AC if they didn’t think you’re a good fit! Just put your all into the AC that’s all you can do, having nerves is a positive sign as it means you really want it! all you have to do is channel that ‘want’ to the partners and grad rec on the day

Anyone had the AG AC pls msg me.
Any advice generally on the firm and its approach to the AC would be much appreciated.

Got a call today from DLA Piper. As soon as I see the 'maybe: Early Careers Team' on my phone I almost had a heart attack only for them to tell me that I'm STILL on the waitlist 😭😭😭

I think we are maybe putting ourselves down too much considering how much work it is! If you need to vent about it, feel very free to PM me i am all ears. Wishing you the very best of luck for your ACs, just going through and attending them is half the battle !Yes I feel the exact same way!!!
