@Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu i have a virtual insight evening tomorrow. I’m not sure what to expect as there’s no schedule or agenda sent through to me. Other than a list of questions about the firm is there anything you advise that I prepare for?
Nothing else to prepare really as it sounds like you have done your research into the firm already. Just be prepared to take notes and contribute to any discussions.

Does anyone have a hunch as to when Linklaters might get back to people?
Also, is it worth applying to Freshfields’ TC still?
Freshfields is non-rolling so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be worth still applying. 🙂👍🏽

The deadline is 23rd of January. That’s 9 days away. If you can write a strong application in that time frame I’d say go for it!! 🫡🫡

Best of luck!

    It seems like Kirkland have already given out their AC invites from what im seeing on this thread. Such a shame because i attended their open day and did their VI. Oh well....
    I completed their VI only a week ago so think they are still processing applications. Someone I know who did a VI a week prior to me only got their AC invite yesterday so keep your hopes up! Praying for both of us!

    Is this for summer or spring please. Applied for summer but have not heard anything. Not even a test invite. What do you think?

    Ffs. I was good at that test on my first cycle, but this cycle I’ve been not doing as well. Looks like I’ll need to bite the bullet and buy the JobTestPrep kit or something.

    Does anyone else have any WG prep websites they use? I’ve already used the Clifford Chance free test quite a few times. I’m scoring 80%+ in those but was only in the 32nd percentile when I did the Linklaters test.
    Assessment day is really good

    Thank you so, so much!! I've been down in the dumps because of PFOs so assumed that they'd be rolling!
    I really appreciate it 🫶
