They give 3 options and you could just tick all 3
I often help people here and by DM. I simply don't understand why it is any different to not disclosing specific questions whilst processes are undoing which is what is asked if us. I wasn't being combatative merely explaining there were reasons why this IS being asked by firms at interview and gave an example but without giving a fuller answer which isn't fair on people who have already had those interview.
Please feel free to expand more fully as can those others who disagree with my approach.
Most likely since I’m too indecisive this is what I will end up doing. 🥲
I did this for White & Case, Ropes & Gray and Paul, Weiss. 🥲

I'm just like "Just give me one I don't care when"🤣🤣
Have you heard back from ropes yet? I haven't.. same with paul weiss

I would prefer to do spring but I am being a bit hopeful about the shoosmiths spring vac scheme (discover placement) (Going to be heartbroken if it’s a rejection post final stage😭) as the dates clash with SH spring scheme.
?
I simply wouldn't expand more fully on my answer whilst processes are ongoing but gave another example than the one they suggested.
Calling someone mad rude and condescending because they explain why an interview question is a valid one is possibly the more rude response.
If you look at my past posting you will see I have been helpful and also have helped a number of people who DM. Fortunately now I will knkw there are some I should decline from helping.
Big big congratulations!! When did you manage to complete the VI btw

I haven’t heard back from either yet. I have seen people with PFO from Paul, Weiss so just anxiously waiting for mine. 🥲🥲
As for Ropes & Gray, based on last year's forum, they didn’t get back to people until a week before the first AC date. I doubt we will hear back until at least Wed 26th February tbh.

‘Er… yes, even I can see that it would…’
‘It wouldn’t just be within employment law though would it?’
Both of these comments came across as very rude and condescending. There is no need for it imo. 🤨

Same with Travers Smith unless they change it this year.

Damn the waiting is painful 😒 just roast me or accept me, my emotional reaction will be the same at this point
Obviously I’m not Jessica and she may have a different opinion due to her years of experience, but from a candidate perspective, do you really want to hold onto a firm who doesn’t value your time by leaving you hanging for so long and ignores your correspondence?
I would see that as a firm who doesn’t really care about the talent it attracts which may speak some volumes about their company culture. After an AC they should tell you if they expect to take a long time due to the amount of applications, how busy they are, etc, but to go without any communication doesn’t sit right with me as a candidate.
Congrats! Do you mind sharing when you had your video interview and when you've heard back?
Maybe the first with hindsight could come across as rude but it wasn't meant to be. I was actually trying to joke that even as a non law student I can see the relevance.
The second definitely not. It isn't just an employment issue. Hence the comment framed as a question. This is same type of thing as when you consider all sorts of commercial issues and processes. It has much more off a crossover in the same way as AI, CSR, ESG does these days which led on to my comment about wider commercial awareness which is what firms are looking for.
I apologise if the original poster took it that way. It wasn't meant that way and did not warrant in any way the comments piled on me after. It is a shame a few people piled on without taking the time to think through what was being said.
