Any advice on how to answer these questions for? :
1. If you could invent a new product or technology that does not currently exist, what would it be and why? (250 max)
2. Please declare if you have used Artificial Intelligence in your application, and if so, how this has been employed? (100 max）(this is for Covington and I have used grammarly but I don't know if that counts)

Thank you!

NRF TC offer! 🥳🥳🥳

Congrats NRF is a great firm, ive heard amazing things about them

Stop giving such terrible advice mate! You said the same thing about Kirkland and you were compltely mistaken. Firms have a deadline for a reason, if your application is good enough then you will progress, firms are looking for the best talent not those who can apply earliest!

Literally just apply lad, I’d always be sceptical with people dissuading you from making applications within the deadline. At the end of the day, you lose nothing in sending it off🫶🏾

Heya congrats! when did u apply for RPC- I applied a while ago and can’t remember if this is the round directly after an initial application?

Don’t worry since it’s sent now. You did what you could and it’s in their hands. If you fit the firm they will pick you up regardless of when you applied before the deadline.

Hi @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam @Jessica Booker ! Are there any threads of examples of commercial (not corporate) case studies anywhere?
