Perfect Jacob, thanks so much! Will give myself a break from this app season and then start on thisSorry I missed this until now - yes, 100% this is something worth doing, especially for firms who recruit rolling! I also made sure my CV was 100% on point and up-to-date for apps that ask you to submit it as well.
Pre-cycle open, you can also complete substantive research on firms, identify key jobs worth discussing in apps, etc - these are all things which require substantial working hours at the time and can slow down your whole app process
Thanks a lot Dheepa!! Hopefully this doesn't happen to every app I prep before next season 😂I did this! I think it is good way to reduce the stress of writing quality apps during the busy season when you'd be swamped with uni. It only backfired miserably once when I'd written out my answers for the questions on the NRF application and they decided to change it last year to a cover letter. I was super 😒😒 about it but all the research I had already done was really helpful for the cover letter anyway.
What was it like?I did them last year and passed. There really isn’t much you can do but play it and try to think of it as a game rather than an assessment

It better not be like PWC. Have not got passed that damn game 2 years in a row.For WBD, I saw an example of the pymetric tests and it looks a lot like the one PwC gave out. Anyone have any idea how to prep for it?
Ah thank you for the reassurance! Super kind. Don’t mind me just sat beside my phone waiting for it to ring for 2 hours 🤣My friend only just had her phone call with a VS offer so don’t panic yet!!
I haven’t even got a post app outcome... 🙁 I know I sound like a broken record about them, but I LIKED them and they GHOSTED me so hardme on my way to Penningtons grad rec to try to get a post-ac outcome
Freshfields!!!!!! You can send me a PM, and I will give you my reasoning for it!Sorry if this comes across as insensitive. I’m in a bit of a pickle. Which do I pick: Slaughters vac scheme or FF? (Based solely on conversion rate of VS to TC!!) love both firms equally.
If you do, please lmk their response! 😭Same! I’m even wondering whether I should reach out to GR and ask a question because I did my GBA in November 😭

TC! Sorry I realised I posted this in the wrong threadI am sorry to hear it! If you don't mind me asking, did you apply for a TC or a vac scheme?
yeah so i think its in london when they are going to merge, shares are suspended for the purpose of doing this. In Amsterdam and in the US shareholders have a Redemption Right which means they can exit with their money at this stage, but in the UK they don't, which makes it less attractive from a shareholder standpoint. I think.Hi all! I just wanted to check if I understood something correctly
With SPACs, what is the reason why firms are going to the US stock markets for these? Is it because of the current UK regulations that mean when the SPAC has identified a target, they can no longer trade? If so, how is it known when a SPAC has identified a target? Do they announce it?
Thank you!
