    Well to be honest I am expecting nothing from firms I applied and did tests before January and had their deadlines around the same time.
    Sometimes you just to move on for the sake of your mental health, so I am only waiting to hear from 3 firms.
    I am waiting for 4 firms plus Travers Smith who ghost me every cycle.

    Just out of curiosity, but has a firm ever accidentally called the wrong candidate to offer them a vac scheme/TC? I don't even want to begin imagining how soul crushing that would be
