Ah ok, I’ll mentally prepare myself for a roast then
They told me I took such an innovative approach with my presentation by picking a specific company to talk about and I was like “was that not the prompt?” Then I realised “talk about 3 different business operations in a company at risk of greenwashing” meant “companies in general” and not “pick a specific company” 😭😭😭

I spent so much time picking and researching a company lol

I am still waiting to hear from Dechert and Cleary. I had sent out an email to ask for updates and the Cleary grad rec responded saying they would send out responses by 14th March. I know people got invited yesterday to Cleary AC's scheduled on 14th March. I've also read about summer vac scheme offers handed to people on LinkedIn. Should I assume a pfo?

As for Dechert it's been complete radio silence
