    How is everyone prepping for interviews? CV, application form, competency questions, etc. A good understanding of current affairs? Brexit, Trump, EU?

    Yep that all sounds good. Will definitely ask why law and why the firm. No excuse for not having a well thought answer for both. Try and not be too generic with "why the firm ?" if you can reference a specific deal or case as a way of illustrating the point you want to make, I've found that this works well. Definitely have a broad understanding of general current affairs. However, in my experience they will usually ask you to talk about a news story that interests YOU. Pick any commercial news story that genuinely interests you and read about it across multiple sources. Form an informed oppinion and be able to defend it.

    Best of luck.

    - Maples interviews out today
    - Eversheds were out tuesday I believe.
    - Does anyone know what the NQ salary is as Pinsent Masons? Noticed a few other big law trainees work there?

    Think someone in my class said they were told at the individual interview that offers would be on Monday but I could be wrong on that!

    Hey everyone - does anybody know how common it is to get feedback after an interview with the big firms if you didn't get the place? Or do you have to ask, or do they give it to you anyways?

    I'm guessing "casual" for A&L presentation doesn't actually mean shirt and jeans?

    The general rule is that they'll give feedback after an individual interview but you have to ask for it. Some firms will give more detailed feedback than others, some might give you just a generic answer that doesn't actually help you.

    Really? I got feedback without asking.
