    Hey, it’s a shame that applications haven’t gone your way yet. But there will be a firm that wants you, and when that happens the process will be enjoyable and progress quickly! It’s definitely a marathon not a sprint so try to stay strong! (Also convincing myself here ahaha )

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Amazing thank you! hopefully that happens for me. It's so frustrating when you think a SJT went well, and the feedback report comes and contradicts your answers or skills that you know you have in real life.

    I just did a SJT, and I got within the highest bracket for "applied verbal intellect" and in the lowest bracket for "numerical" should I assume a PFO?
