    TC or not TC... that is the question

    Michelmores second round invite just came in! Nothing from C R S but tbf I didn't hear from them until much later last year either. Finishing off my third application today, also for a firm I really care about, so that'll be a weight off my mind once it is sent off. Feeling more prepared this...

    TC or not TC... that is the question

    I think it was quite intense but not too different from other firms' processes tbh - you may need to be more specific with your question, as I'm not sure what in particular you want to know? :) happy to help ofc ! I mean generally I would describe it as a good lesson on how the applications...

    TC or not TC... that is the question

    ROUND 2 of 'TC or NOT TC, that is the question' Last year, I got through to the final rounds of my top two firms but received no TC offers in the end... A big fat NOT TC year for me, haha This year, I feel I know more about what I'm doing in this application process, and I'm also back at uni...

    TC or not TC... that is the question

    MMs interview went alright - I think I came across well (friendly & enthusiastic, researched firm well) but don't think my commercial awareness was necessarily proven. I really wanted to stand out and impress - but I suppose only time will tell. Currently just trying to file this away until I...
