    I also got developing extraordinary outcomes as a weakness and got invited to the 2nd test. My top skills were championing our clients and giving them the edge, thriving under pressure and embracing transformation.

    You should still apply! I applied on Tuesday and got invited to the Simulate (2nd stage test) yesterday, so they seem to review the applications pretty fast

    Oh wow that’s a lot later than normal, surely they have to consider the fact we may have multiple offers?
