Bathtub, face mask, glass of red wine and a thriller on Netflix!!!

Smash tomorrow! I’m sure you’re more than prepared, get loads of sleep.

Sounds like my social life

Hey all, we're discussing the rise of plant-based alternatives to meat and animal by-products in this week's commercial discussion! It would be super interesting to hear everyone's input and thoughts!

As the least commercially aware person on this forum, I can’t really contribute to the conversation. But what I will say is that this seems to be a massive area for investment companies at the moment… it keeps coming up in lots of conversations in the work I do in the investment sector!

I talked about this on an application a few months back. Mainly because I'm vegetarian so I have always been very aware of the market.

You should take a look at the brand 'THIS'. It's insane how much their sales have increased since they opened. Just for reference though, their registered company name is Plant Meat Limited.

Telephone interview with Browne Jacobson! If anyone has any tips I’d greatly appreciate it!

Congrats! I got this too! I’m wondering if this is still part of the initial screening phase or whether this means we made the next stage?

No clue.

I think it is the next stage as I believe they said the application was judged alongside the tests and so I don’t think they’d add the telephone interview aswell.

Yeah I just checked the email about the tests, they added if you are successful you’ll be invited to a telephone interview. Congratulations mate and good luck!

I got the scheme but I cant do the dates anymore because they've changed them - guessing that means you'll probs be emailed saying you've made it off the reserve list!

Sorry to hear that you can’t make the scheme. Congrats on securing a place. Thank you for letting me know!

I love this film it is so jokes how he predicted the financial crisis. You are referring to the movie Big Short right.

No I'm talking about this evening - it's the same guy, but it's gone public that he's just shorted Tesla very recently

I searched it in google and it came up with the movie my research skills are rubbish I guess.

Yep - what does he know that everyone else doesn't?!?!

Anyone received the Bevan Brittan Watson Glaser test invite?

Anyone received the Bevan Brittan Watson Glaser test invite?

Absolutely not a sausage. Know lots of people have received PFO’s and invites. But I still haven’t heard anything at all. Now going on 2 unanswered emails I’ve given up tbh, they must be so so busy and I don’t want to stress them out even more!

Has anyone had any experiences with applying to Eversheds using the direct training contract route? Do they look at direct TC apps only if they have not filled their spots through their vac schemes? I am just considering whether my time is invested sensibly should I complete their direct TC app! Thank you all
