for pathfinder, no follow-up after sjt and wg. shame because I had attended like 3 links events, 2 being application-based (if that matters which i doubt) and was overall most confident for that one. not shaping up to be a great first year but who knows.
Theres still time plus you got 2 years left or so and even then you can still apply after graduating keep up hopee maybe tommorow we will find out archived doesnt mean PFO

i'm intl so don't really have that time after graduating. its a horrendous job market for intl students but i figured if i start early i might have some luck, but i guess we'll see tomorrow.

Did you guys also find the personality questions so weird lol I personally decided that if i don't hear by the end of this week i'll assume it's most likely a rejection since it's an asap start but idk, they may also want to be thorough
Yess, I thought the culture questions were so odd. I do hope we hear back by this week or the beginning of the next for interviews, which I assume would be the last stage (and hope).

yeah I think it's common with them. as someone waiting to hear back from pathfinder, I literally know I've been rejected - because they seem to be done with the next stage (interviews). Yet it's been over a month and they haven't updated me
pathfinder applicant here. I believe they sent out phone interview invites in 2 rounds a few weeks ago, don't know why they don't just update our profiles. might as well make it official that I was rejected no need to put me on hold.
