[QUOTE="DavidJC, post: 226159, member: 4361"] Also joined the CC PFO club yesterday even though I felt it was one of my strongest applications I've ever submitted. I think I'm gonna give up on MC firms after this cycle. I have some doubts about whether they're necessarily the best fit for me anyway and considering they regularly get 7-10k+ apps, make you jump through hoops and hurdles (yes, jump through hurdles, not over them) and can't provide more than generic "everyone already knows this if they've genuinely and seriously engaged with any TC app process for more than 30 mins" feedback, I think it's just becoming a waste of time that could be diverted to other firms. On a strict % basis and seeing as I've heard CC have quietly reduced their trainee intakes to compensate for their post-COVID overhiring, they're probably the most competitive firm anyway in terms of % of participants actually getting a TC, it would also explain why the SPARK scheme operates the way it does now instead of the previous SPARK + Spring/Summer VSs. Also looking forward to the incoming A&OS rejection at this point 🤣 [/QUOTE]
