The word “good” explains what the system was trying to achieve.
My understanding is that you can if it's a LLM SQE course, so on that note does anyone have a list of firms where the SQE course they put you through is a LLM lol
For some firms the VI is automatic so it is necessary for them to consider both. For others they might refer to what you’ve said in the application when reviewing your VI responses (e.g. to check you haven’t just read the same answer). For others they might only skim the application form to check you’re eligible etc. before sending out VIs and then check the application form more thoroughly post-VI…etc. There are a whole range of reasons and each firm will have its own approach.
If it is an LLM course and you haven’t taken on postgraduate finance already, then yes.
Makes sense, I emailed them and never got a response.
Just explain the other scheme has no flexibility with dates, and therefore you wondered if you could move to their other scheme as this looks to be the only opportunity to do both schemes.
Yes, this is more common in telephone interviews and especially if they are tight on time. Sometimes telephone interviews are outsourced too, so the person interviewing you might not have been able to answer any questions anyway.
Tell the firm in the email that you have sent this to both firms (even if you have not)
I think SH just doesn't send a PFO email if they don't consider your app. I applied back in October and selected all three schemes (winter, spring and summer) and haven't heard anything, not even a holding email. That being said, I have seen SH send test/interview invites in April/May so I wouldn't lose hope completely. Just for those that applied 6 months ago, it's pretty poor communication from the firm imo.
