    If I remember correctly, the mentioned person had their AC on 13th February and received the offer last Friday. If you have applied for the DTC, the AC is the final stage before the offer. Do you have the DTC AC with Freshfields on Thursday this week?

    Did they confirm that it was an offer and it was for the DTC? I understand that they posted that they "heard back", then deleted this post and quitted the forum
