    Well done on your AC! Personally managed to address them all with 5 minutes to go. It's a nice AC experience and they aren't looking to trip you up 👌

    They are doing the spring ACs in January so will probably move on to summer after that?

    It's day one back into the office after new year, all I’ve done today is sift through more than 500 emails to triage them so it's unlikely you'll get much of anything today or tomorrow so probs worth switching off 😅😁🫡

    All you need to know about the city is a great book for understanding terminology and how things like interest and bonds work in a practical sense - highly recommend it even if some of it will be a little outdated

    They said at the Bristol OD that we’d start to hear back re ACs in January and into February. It’s going to be massively competitive as only 8 VS spots in the Bristol office.

    Busy day for VIs, completed the Goodwin one, short and snappy questioning. I would say to people, load it up, get it done, don't overthink it and don't be scared of it. These are my 'insights', so please don't message me privately!

    My Reed Smith SJT is easily my worst Amberjack result - hope they still review my VIs as I felt they went well!

    Try the link in an incognito browser or clear your cookies and cache and try again - often find it sorts the issue. I can only ever review my applications via Vantage in incognito.

    I didn't prep for it! But typically it's suggested to look for the firms values and see what they prioritise.

    Same my side, I think the volume will be huge so don't write it off
