I did my VI a week after the deadline because of accessibility requirements so I’m not sure this is the case- JessicaIsabelle

From what I’ve seen from last year with regards to RS, they sent out invites in stages, and some people got “holding” emails. don’t lose hope if you haven’t got a firm PFO - no news is good news! 🥰- JessicaIsabelle

You have posted this so many times 😂 I can’t advise on gateley but Shoosmiths is an SJT and WG. you can do WG prep online for free. SJT you really need to be yourself. Don’t try and give answers you think the firm wants. Be honest and consistent in your answers.- JessicaIsabelle

Anyway....moving swiftly on.... So RS's "you will hear by the 10th" really means "we'll tell you on the 10th" There's just a pit of existential dread and anxiety waiting to hear back from 6+ firms- JessicaIsabelle
