Also 15 minute TI is longer than any of my VIs. No idea what they’ll ask us. I’ll also have to do the call in my lunch break during my VS next week.- James Wakefield

I’d have a look at BCLP’s retention rate… I believe it’s been very low over the last few years. They’ve also just announced they are closing their Asian offices too.- James Wakefield

They’ll receive 50% of their applications over the next couple of days. I doubt they have stopped sending out their automatic tests- as they’ll be inundated with emails from people applying. I’m sure we’ll get it! 🤞- James Wakefield

I don’t think so no. On a general point, are there really any firms which are on a rolling basis for direct TC? Don’t most have to wait for their Vacation Schemes anyway?- James Wakefield
