    AC - is each part given equal weight?

    Thanks all. I know I shouldn't overthink it as I can't change it anyway. So much easier said then done though!

    I got a few follow up questions but it was very conversational. They seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out more about me so the questions were not anything I couldn't answer.

    Commercial Awareness Discussion Thread

    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/30/what-is-a-spac.html Another article which explains what a SPAC is and the advantages/risks of using one. Watsons Daily also spoke about these on their podcast last week in relation to WeWork so worth also listening to that if you can!

    Thank you. Yes I think they are doing ACs all this week. They might be waiting to see what the results are from the ACs before inviting more people in. Fingers crossed for you!

    I don't think many firms offer visas for vac schemes, however most of the vac schemes are happening virtually this year so if there was ever a time to apply it would now. Good luck.

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Oh right. I guess because I hadn't started one online at that time I didn't get a notification. Really disappointed but will make sure I set a reminder for 1st June. Just hope they haven't filled up by then!

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
