    Hi @axelbeugre! Hope you are well :) Are there any resources for preparing for vacation scheme exit interviews? The database resources for VS interviews was so useful so I was just wondering if there was a similar document or if you have any advice.

    If I get a TC and the firm has a specific provider, can I ask to switch? Hearing all the horror stories about BPP is making me consider whether it might even be worth self-funding to avoid it lol.

    I would say to be honest with yourself and not compare yourself. For some it takes 2 weeks, others a day, so your best approach is to have a routine you can stick to. A few hours a day and the weekend is ample time. You'll smash it!!!

    I would advise against it as ive always been probed further on my experiences. if you mention working in a team on a project they might ask more about the roles of each individual, the details about the project itself etc

    even though I can see why firms ask competency questions, I completely agree with you. my issue with competency questions is that a lot of people tend to massively inflate their experiences. I know people who have fabricated scenarios just to answer the questions.

    throughout your TC, you'll be working with different teams, be thinking on your feet, will need to be proactive etc and if a candidate has never done this before then they might have a harder time adjusting. communication, public speaking etc are all skills developed over time and firms likely...
