    Is it safe to assume DLA PFO now? They had their last few ACs around end Jan last year and have been sending PFOs erratically for a while
    Not yet! It might be the case that multiple people have received offers with 7 days for acceptance and they decide to reject them/received a TC in another firm and withdraw etc.

    Then, if you are on a waiting list, you might still receive an invitation.

    Good luck! 🙏
