I would also prepare as much info as you can in the firm or company that the placement will be at because you...

    I thought 1. Investment uncertainty-with Trump’s “America first” posture that definitely caused a stir in transatlantic business relations which caused uncertainty for businesses like BMW, VW and other European car manufacturers who paused planned investment in US operations; 2. Regulatory...

    Lots of firms do it. I’m personally aware through people I know that Weil (did not ask for their money back though), HSF, CMS, CC all will withdraw a TC if you fail SQE 1. There are other firms that I’m sure do as well.

    What a great time to be alive! Trump has definitely hit the ground running and ruffled a few feathers. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the Middle East and Ukraine under his leadership.
