    Does anybody know the rules on applying to vacation schemes/direct training contracts after already accepting a TC? @Jessica Booker I would love some insight if you have any. Many thanks!

    I also received my rejection post AC! Well done on all your hard work regardless, and hopefully the feedback they give is good. I really like the firm and it hurts to be rejected at this stage!

    Do you think they’ll be letting everyone who has been waiting post AC know?

    Does anybody know how they would answer this question? "What would your response be to finding out that your team has to stay late due to a sudden demand from an important client?" I am not exactly sure how I would deal in this scenario.
