    Thank you for your thoughtful response. It is a silver circle firm, so I am a little surprised at the poor communication, but I know mistakes happen.

    Hi everyone, does anyone (particularly Jessica Booker) have insight on not hearing back at all after a video interview?

    Bit random but if an interview was scheduled for an hour (including questions at the end) and it was 45 minutes including questions is this usually a bad sign?

    Hi everyone, does anyone know what the general timeline for Harbottle & Lewis is after the first interview? I see on their website they have a 20 minute cognitive test as the next stage after the interview (maybe this is new because I can't find anything about it from older threads) and then...
