    Did anyone attend the Clyde & Co AC today? I hope it went well for you! Are you able to give any insight on how long each aspect of the AC was? I am really unsure what to expect from the interview in terms of how long it is going to be! Thanks :)

    Has anyone had any experience of an AC with Clyde & Co? The information they have sent over is quite vague so I am unsure what to expect!

    This sounds like a lot! Were the questions typical VI questions or more behavioural/ strengths based? It seems like they are creating a lot of work for themselves by having everyone answer 8 questions before even progressing them to the second stage...

    is anyone else waiting to hear back from macfarlanes? I can see some people asking about ACs so I don't know whether to rule them out yet and expect a PFO

    "poor attention to detail" did it for me, brutal - I meticulously edited and drafted that app lmao it was hard not to take offence!

    I also think perhaps the reason I got rejected is because I haven't really managed to "improve" much since I last applied in terms of jobs and new experiences. Annoyingly I got offered a new job after I applied but I guess I will never know the exact reason! For everyone that got the PFO - I...
