[I’m a celebrity get me out of here - VS/TC edn]

???? That is very rude. Well, manners and kindness will also be important to clear an assessment centre

ok, wasn't intended to be rude but fair enough

Can you not read properly they said post app

unnecessary tbh

 

[radssss]

Putting this out here because this ill mannered person needs to be called out. I feel sorry for you and how rude you are.
Best of luck getting a tc and working in a firm and talking to clients this way.

I just said 1 thing why trying to get involved and making it worse for others just end it here. You are basically drawing more attention to the situation.

Stupid suggestion incoming but have you tried applying to regional offices/regional law firms?

They're a lot easier to get to AC stage from personal experience - I've been rejected from the larger firms but the regional ones come through.

Everyone applies to the high-paying Magic Circle/US firms but there are a lot of regional offices out there.

it was replied to a response POST VI, people are sometimes vague here, if you would mind your own that person could’ve just said it was actually post app and I read wrong or ignored it. Didn’t really care what was clear to you lol

I'm lost. Everybody needs to chill out

Chill. I got 12 PFOs and 5 Holding emails so far, will be applied to 38 firms by end of this month if there is no AC yet.

Tbh no as I really want to work in competition and hopefully be seconded to Brussels. So regional firms have not been on my mind.

I think everyone needs a break. And just a reminder - assume the best of intentions from people. If something is clearly rude, ignore and report. I understand everyone is stressed but no more fighting/arguing/whatever or you'll all go in the get along shirt.
