WINTER VACATION SCHEME OFFER!!!!!!! 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳

I just got the call and I am still shaking! I did the test last Wednesday at 1:15pm (although I was on holiday in America so it was actually 8:15 am for me) and I am so surprised they responded this quickly.

I wish the best to everyone else!!!

If it's any consolidation, I've had to decline the offer due to scheme clashes (can't believe I'm in the position to say this to a law firm 😅), so that frees up a spot hopefully to those waiting!

Wow what a fantastic position to be! Congrats, you must have worked really hard to achieve that.
