For reference to anyone who applied.

Last year I completed the video interview for SPB on the 21st January and was emailed an invitation for the AC on the 30th Jan.

I anticipate there will probably be similar timeline this year, if not slight delays due to WFH issues.
Hi, What kind of questions do they ask in their video interview? Is it more on commercial awareness or about you and the firm?
