VS offer post direct TC app
I applied for a firm's direct TC stream, but, post AC, I have been offered a VS for next year. I am very perplexed as this was quite unexpected (I was anticipating a straight rejection).

You have unlimited preparation time before answering, so I highly recommend planning your answer, practice saying it many times, even timing it, before officially recording it to suit the 2 mins answer. Even if the 4 questions end up taking over an hour, its worth it. There are lots of math...- livelaughlawve

Great question: 1. Nowhere did it say their process was in-person only. 2. In the wake of covid, being unable to accommodate things to be online is not an unrealistic expectation, or not automatically having an "online alternative" assessment day (as many other firms do). Many other firms of...- livelaughlawve
