Do people find it annoying/boastful when someone posts an offer? I assumed everyone did and after seeing people on Linkedin post theirs I did the same. Now I'm worried haha- collie_121

I wrote about the Big Four for a question like this and said it impacted the legal sector in terms of competition. I suppose you could use the scandals as a counter-argument to give a more well-rounded view/argument??- collie_121

Those who have used forage for an AC, were you able to view your schedule the night before? Or does this vary from firm to firm?- collie_121

Sort of following on from this point, I have a partner interview coming up and in the application form I mentioned that I have an interest in M&A. Although completely true, I am unsure of the level of understanding they expect me to have of it, what sort of questions would they ask me about it...- collie_121

Addleshaw Goddard AC invite! Had completely written off this VI because my response to the first question was 'hello' after thinking the record button was a means of testing your microphone. Just goes to show that a questionable VI might not be as tragic as you think hahahaha- collie_121

Can anyone recommend any platforms to stay commercially aware of specific sectors? Other than the FT, I struggle to find a platform specifically geared towards giving updates/comments on current trends about a certain industry/industries. I am mainly interested in energy and shipping. Thanks :)- collie_121

I guess its hard to predict, in terms of volume of applications this may lessen over the coming few years, but then again, there would technically be more applications anyway as the population rises.
