    I’d say to just try your best, it sounds like a very conversational interview so less prep might be fine. Also, not to be a negative Nancy, but you *may* not get it so the issue of clashing with another VS is really a problem for later. Personally, I’d rather have the option to choose between...

    I remember seeing somewhere that it does not, but it wasn't on a PH website or anything, it was on some sort of forum so take with a pinch of salt

    Love you Chris but “the UK is classist and this is not good” isn’t a controversial take at all lmao

    Not sure how the US D.E.I. situation affects that, the issues you’re mentioning about VIs exist regardless of that

    Ugh I just wish firms were transparent with their timelines… Since I always expect the worst, I’m guessing if we don’t hear back by the end of today it will be PFOs on Monday

    Its probably important to not do badly in it, but saw some people with high scores get rejected the other day so it isn’t everything
