I'm personally never applying to the firm again, this is the second time they have wasted my time.

FF sucks! I applied two years in a row, had support from one of their ex-trainees and current employees and still was rejected without any explanation. They have some weird pattern going on

Historically end of January/beginning of Feb. But for the 2024/25 cycle people waited until end of Feb to receive a PFO.
