On a side note, do you guys esp the future Manchester trainees wanna connect over Linkedin or something?
Hi - just found this thread. I accepted a training contract for the Manchester office a couple of weeks ago. Lmk if anyone wants to connect on Linkedin. Also seems to be some inconsistency re the cohort size - I was told 2!

Just got my offer for SQE Casualty Coverage London. She said that it’s taken so long because they merged two departments together. Didn’t expect a call past 5pm to be honest!
Congratulations! 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳
