[QUOTE="tractor12, post: 33698, member: 3300"] Those who have family and friends who might provide more detailed information will then still have an advantage over people who read the more general info provided here. I agree it’s difficult to find a balance and very specific information such as detailed case facts should be stayed away from. But I think ultimately it should be up to the person if they want to provide that sort of information. They are the ones who might be taking a risk by telling another person. In an ideal world, it’s not really fair that anyone gets this information before an AC. But as Jess said, there will be other ways of getting that info if it’s not provided here. I remember someone once posted that they went to an AC and it quickly emerged that they were the only one who wasn’t aware of what the case study would be about. Firms are fully aware that this goes on, and if they were really concerned about it there are various ways they can mitigate it from happening. For example, they can have a few different case studies to give to candidates or ask a different set of questions for video interviews (which some firms do) It’s also interesting to note that from my own experiences at ACs, I’ve never actually been told or warned not to tell others information regarding their application process. Of course it should go without saying but I never got the impression that they were particularly concerned about this or did much to stop it from happening (of course this will differ from firm to firm). I definitely understand all the reasons why it shouldn’t happen and as I said ideally it shouldn’t happen at all. But I think it is better to have this high profile platform that provides equal information for everyone. [/QUOTE]
