    I have just completed a VI and - oh - my - god - it could not have gone any worse. I rambled a bit on the first question and it just went downhill from there. I wouldn't mind but the questions were really straightforward!

    It really depends on the firm. I have had a couple of recruiters from firms I applied to look at my profile after I submitted an application.

    Oh, I absolutely intend on thanking the lady with blond hair who passed me in the corridor and the bloke who stood next to me in the urinal. Afterall, it's a team effort. 😁

    Joking aside, no I don't. It's an achievement, you worked hard, and you should absolutely be proud of it! I think belittling somebody for celebrating their success is pretty negative and bitter.
