    That’s what I’m saying! Because if you really didn’t complete the AI interview it kinda proves the theory that MDR progressed lots to SJT because the AI interview was truly a trial!

    I’m more surprised you don’t remember doing the AI interview. I think that was the most time consuming thing this whole application season! EDIT: on a more serious note are you sure you did it? It was so time consuming I can’t imagine not remembering completing it. It might be the deadline...

    So makes me thing MISHCON AI interview isn’t that heavily weighted?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    So does that mean everyone who did the AI interview got shortlisted for the SJT? Because that’s insane you didn’t even do the AI interview.
