Just been sent a VI invite to WBD :) (Leeds office, applied 1 week before deadline)
so pleased. That will round off my app cycle - this is the only firm I have left. 😳 Going to have a good life re-evaluation afterward lol. Does anyone else have daily existential crisis’?
Yes ma’am everyday - WBD is also my final firm for the cycle! Wishing us both luck for this one 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
