    Hey does anyone know why on the Macfarlanes Website it states the 2022 vacation scheme deadline is on the 3rd Jan 2022 and that they don't recruit rolling basis. Yet when you go to apply it keeps saying deadline passed?
    They'll open applications on the 27th of September

    And yeah that's a change I remember they used to recruit rolling in previous cycles
