    Hi guys I just got the Macfarlanes first test. For those of you who have given it, could you please share any advice on how to go about it. I'm assuming it's an SJT and I always mess those up.

    Do you guys think it’s still worth applying for the Macfarlanes direct TC? I know the DL is end june so not sure because it’s rolling.

    How long after doing the Macfarlanes first assessment did people get to the second stage? For the vac scheme I got the invite same day but I don’t know if there’s more of a wait for TC

    Given that MacFarlanes has 33 trainee slots. How many TC's do they actually have available. Surely no more than 6 or 7 trainee positions, so potentially 30 AC's?
