    I think there are some really good resources in the forum for TI! But basically why the firm, why law, a commercial story and some competencies are what you should be preparing for!

    God I hadn’t actually read the email lol. Well either they’re running late and have some WGs to hand out or we are all getting a PFO today :)

    Honestly working full time and writing apps has been a real test of resilience and time management! But I managed it and feel so good 🙏🏼

    Thank you James. These are really interesting points to consider as I go about thinking about this question! And your point about COVID is really interesting and one I had not considered before :D

    I’m in the final week and a bit before my AC and this has been a god send because I am panicking about whether I “know” enough! I am going to implement this method from now 🙏🏼

    I felt like my NRF TI went badly too but I ended up getting an AC spot! Its a great achievement to get this far and its so easy to become your own worst critic in these situations, especially because you can't see the interviewers reactions to your answers!

    I'm planning on doing it tomorrow morning but also curious. I am preparing for it as if it were a normal VI.

    It’s Colombia. The firm closed both its Venezuelan and Colombian offices but still operates in Brazil and Mexico. But Colombia has some really interesting large infrastructure projects happening in 2022 (and ofc has big mining/resource/agricultural economy) something which the firm specialises...

    With the "where should we open a new office", I just found out that the firm had an office in the country I was going to discuss but closed it in 2019... would it be advised to chose a different place in this case? I feel like I have a strong argument but not sure if it would sit right?

    Honestly I’ve made countless mistakes (missing punctuation etc) and it’s usually harmless to your application chances! Overall quality is more important!

    As a civil servant myself, there are so many people who switch from things like IB or consulting to the civil service so it’s definitely an option!
