    How on earth do some people have 3 TC offers and further Vac Schemes lined up?

    Wasn't sure where to post this so just thought I'd post in here. If you've trained at a good firm, how competitive is the process of joining other firms as an associate? (Obviously depends on the firms, but just a general idea of the competitiveness of that process)

    An AC will be virtually but with other people, and will usually be more conversational (asking questions and follow-ups). A VI is automated questions, with a time window to answer in and then you record yourself responding instead of live responses congrats on the VI! When did you apply?
