    I really just wanted to know how to go about asking for work in a department you’d like work from. How do you go about this, who is appropriate to contact? Perhaps it makes sense to wait for some sort of networking experience to come up before asking? ( during a vac scheme) If you are less busy...

    I had a feedback call from an AC today and some firms are so stingy with sharing accurate feedback and actually saying what went wrong plainly and simple. It’s so annoying because the feedback is absolutely so vague and not reflective of the interview at all. starting to make me thing that most...
