Just received an invite too to the Manchester office as well as a panel interview!!😭🎉
I also got told I may also need to do a Watson glaser - anyone else?
The Watson Glaser thing is standard - I've had other VS offers say the same thing. I think they retest every now and then just to make sure that people didn't cheat? Not sure how often they actually do retest though!
