    Got a TC offer just an hour earlier- still buzzing! 😁😁 Can't wait to move to the City 🏙️. This was my second cycle, and I got other VS's this year where I didn't convert. Keep going everyone, you will get there eventually. Congratulations to everyone else who also heard good news recently!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    @Jessica Booker Hi Jessica- I have a slightly pedantic query. For one of my upcoming summer vacs, I had to complete a residency form(it only consisted of 3 questions). The deadline was May 7, but I had no idea, would this be an issue? Completed it recently and told the firm why I couldn't do...
