Wanted to find out what people prefer using Financial times or The Economist. I am finding that the student financial times is good but yet still restrictive - as it shows you the majority of the news articles, however, does not allow full access to all of the articles. Any other suggestions other than the usual BBC news, CNN, Bloomberg, general browsing of firms and news.
I think you only really miss out on M&A coverage and their Lex column on the standard student subscription. Unis tend to have enterprise subscriptions which include the premium content. My uni has a subscription but does not advertise it anywhere, I literally just found the link by googling.

Yeah, I think mine was on my uni's library department page - it might be worth reaching out to them as they often handle resources and subscriptions!

Ah I don’t know how I completely missed that sentence! I did mine about a week ago and it was actually a really nice WG btw
oh really 🥺 this firm just looks like the nicest firm like lots of opportunity on the app form to talk about us, a cute lil touch of wishing us a good easter weekend and a nice WG. or maybe I'm just overly touched by these things now given how traumatising this application season has been 😂

    Yeah I must admit they've been excellent in my opinion - I am aware some people did not have the best experience last cycle with them - that being said the deadline for my WG was 23rd - and on the 26th I had a follow up email managing my expectations and explaining I should hear back by the end of this week. I think it's been handled very professionally.

    Bakers says they're huge on diversity, but I cant see anything on disability networks on their site... Does anyone have any info/experience on what they're like for disability?

    Their wellbeing group is related to disability. There is not much on their website but I searched it in google and found articles or reports about it.
