It's one of the last VS applications I am waiting to hear back from so the pressure is on. I'm scared that I am getting my hopes up too much even though so much time has passed since the VI that I can hardly remember how it went haha

I just got a holding email for the Shoosmiths Discover Placement (equivalent to a vs I believe), anyone else heard from them?

 

[Farhan65756]

Yeah I got the Shoosmiths holding email too

 

[tcplease2345]

I think everyone who applied got it.

 

[SB220398]

does anyone know how many people they accept on the placement?

 

[LehmanBrothersRiskManagementIntern]

does anyone know how many people they accept on the placement?

3 people or less for the placement in the London office. Around 4-5 in other offices.

Which office did you guys apply to?

Am I expected to ask questions at the end of a live video interview? if yes, what sort of questions should I ask?

 

[Legalstalker]

The week of doom and many app results:
