    Hi everyone, For W&C, has anyone that did their VI before the WVS and received the holding email heard any news since? Should we anticipate a PFO? Wishing everyone a fantastic week and year ahead!

    Hey everyone, for Clyde & Co, are recent graduates eligible to apply for Vac Schemes? They say this on their website which makes me wonder if recent graduates are just not eligible at all...

    Hey everyone, does anyone know if W&C only has one round of AC invites for the WVS? I fear I may have been PFOd after the VI ... Otherwise wishing everyone a productive week filled with good news!

    Hey guys, for the Linklaters assessment, is the critical thinking section after the SJT the Watson Glaser test? i.e., does that also have to be finished by the deadline, or is it the one that can be taken upto 5 days after submitting the application?

    Hey guys, is there anyone who got past the application stage for Latham in the past and would like to share the results they got for their situational judgement test? i.e., the skills they excelled at. I think I got struck out in the past cycles based on this.
