    Hi! If it’s for the 2024 intake then you will receive the tests after the deadline - it isn’t on a rolling basis. The offers we’re talking about are for the unexpected listing for extra trainees where the application deadline was around mid January...

    thank you so much 🙂. Congrats to you too! I’ll be at Exeter. It’s the smallest office so probably why a March start wasn’t feasible but it’s the only office I’d be able to work at based on family etc. So I’m very happy!

    Just got TC offer from Browne Jacobson! 😀Not for March start though but a little bit down the line. Wasn’t expecting good news after waiting all this week - but I think that people should know either way by today.

    I think all of us Browne Jacobson applicants just want an answer to save us from this agonising wait 😂

    Given the March 7th start date, I’m expecting we’ll hear back from Browne Jacobson within the next day or two - and certainly this week.

    I heard back a week ago. Telephone interviews have been taking place from Monday 24th until tomorrow I believe. I think some people applying for the Manchester office had their interviews yesterday.

    Exeter. I could only book my interview for today or tomorrow (Mon or Tues), whilst others have said for another office they could book theirs later in the week, so it does appear they are staggered.

    They're doing interviews this week and letting candidates know early next week whether they'll be invited to the ACs. I did my phone interview today and all looking positive!

    Exeter. I'm based in the South-West, and it's the only office that's at all commutable from where I live now. Otherwise, given the AC days would be on 4th, 7th, 10th February (from what they've told me), and then any final decision being made, there would hardly be any time to move my whole...

    Hi, I'm new here! I saw a few posts above about the 2022 March Browne Jacobson TC. I got an email on the 20th (Thursday) inviting me to book a telephone interview on Monday/Tuesday. But that wasn't for Manchester office, so I hope you get the telephone invitation very soon too! So glad to...
