    Thank you, that’s very kind! A lot of it is the fact that I have a lot of work experience in the City and a previous vacation scheme

    They LOVE it when you talk about their culture but I asked a grad rec woman what misconception they’d change about the firm and she said that students assume that it’s going to be chill because they have good culture but you will still work extremely hard.

    I've had several too. Be patient! I've had some firms get back to me in an hour, others have marking to do so they take a couple of weeks and others need approval from other people too! Don't stress, I do feel you though! :D
