I can’t believe it but I got a call yesterday offering me a vac scheme at my favourite firm!!!! (asked not to disclose until a week or so). Last year I never made it to interview, so it feels very surreal to have actually progressed!

Congrats! I got a Vac Scheme offer too yesterday from my favourite firm, I wonder if it’s the same one 👀 but was told to keep it under-wraps. We’ll have to DM each other in a few weeks 🤣

    Hi all,

    My WBD assessment’s score was 6969, but I got the lowest score for verbal intellect and an average score for numerical intellect.

    Can I expect a PFO here?

    Thanks
    I wouldn’t necessarily expect a PFO. Those are good scores for the pillars & tbh we’re not sure how much weight is put on verbal & numerical.

    It’s not over until it’s over!!

    Hey guys, just wanna reach out for some advice. I had a TI with a firm today, and the next stage is a two-day AC. Unfortunately, the first day of AC clashes with my interview with SM, but the first day is just an unassessed insight day to prepare us for the next day, so I might be able to miss it. I don’t know the outcome of today’s TI yet, but should I reschedule my SM interview just in case?

    If I do reschedule, should I mention it’s due to another AC or give a different reason? Thanks :)

    Hi there,

    I would personally wait to hear back from the telephone interview before carrying out any next steps/rescheduling. Another thing is that I do not recommend missing the first day of the AC despite it being unassessed. I’m sure it will do very well on preparing you for the next day, in terms of even little things such as successfully navigating tech for the following assessment day.

    I have tagged the rest of the team for additional insights - @Jessica Booker @Ram Sabaratnam @Andrei Radu

    Has anyone heard back from NRF post AC or still waiting & does anyone know how long they take to respond usually? I’d really appreciate any insights :)

    I'm waiting, my AC was 2 weeks ago - they said mid to late March. Someone who had their AC the week before me said they were told they'd hear back this week though so I'm guessing they're going by order of AC.
