    Skadden WA ... submitted 3 minutes late and didn't finish all the points of action. Not feeling very optimistic but it was great to get to the next stage for a chance! Best of luck to everyone who did it :)

    I still haven’t heard anything 😅 Considering their interviews are supposed to take place mid-March as I was told by HR, I’m not expecting any good news
