Hi, firstly congratulations on getting the written exercise stage for Dechert and same here I haven't heard from HL,WC, Covington so I think its pretty standard. If you don't me asking I have my written exercise for Derchert coming up is there anything you could share about it. Was it a case study exercise , did you find it challenging ?

Thanks for confirming! I'm pretty disappointed it's online but oh well I guess it's somethingI also got an invite to their open day, but yesterday. For me the email said that there is potential for rail disruption so they'll keep under consideration whether to hold the day online. I received an email today saying they've moved it online.
They're not lying to you, and congrats!
I saw the train strikes might be cancelled so I guess there’s still hope it’ll be in person for you!
may i ask if this is for the 13th or 27th one?
i assume it's a PFO if i haven't received an email by now... but just out of curiosity!
Heya, how long was it between when you did your written exercise and hearing back for an interview?
Yes, which is a shame actually. The strikes have been called off.
Agreed - no merch! I am, however, quite glad to not have to travel!

Hey @Lopez2017 ,
This is a really interesting question. I totally agree with @Ram Sabaratnam ’s point on the question intending to enable candidates to bring out their true personalities. I would say focus less on making your response tailored to what you think the firm wants to hear, and more on being concise with your past experiences and values. @Ram Sabaratnam had also mentioned going back to the firm’s core competencies and tailoring any qualities you have with these as well. This is great as it allows you to show demonstrated interest in some way within all parts of the written application. The firm is trying to see something, trying to uncover something about you’re interests and personality from the question - so take some time with it.
Here’s a draft of what I would’ve told my favourite plushie when I was a child:
‘Stay curious and resilient. Life’s a big adventure, full of wonder and challenges. Don’t fear mistakes – they’re just learning steps. And remember, kindness and empathy matter most, even in tough times. Hold onto your playfulness; it keeps things joyful’.
it means that you'll get fast tracked to the AC (last stage of the application process) after attending the open day! congrats!
At least that's what I have been told on email
