    This is probably a really stupid question but what happens to a target company after an acquisition? Like, do they just cease to exist, become a subsidiary or what? 😭😭😭

    Did anybody get their CC application put “on hold” AFTER the Video Interview? Thought I bombed it so was going expecting a rejection anyway, so was quite confused by this. I don’t know if I should hold out for any hope, or just let it go lol 😂

    If anyone has done a NRF vacation scheme, how is it assessed? Are there a little assessed tasks, or is the whole thing reliant on the interview at the end of the scheme?
