Re explaining not converting a VS to a TC above, is it less of an issue if it is just one type of firm rather than two? The firm is technically US but more international. I recently finished a VS and it had a new TC interview added at the end (purely case study based). No one has heard an outcome yet, but it was the worst interview that I have had. A benchmark for the case study has to be met before the performance on the scheme is taken into account and I'm fairly certain I haven't met the benchmark; especially as there were nearly 3 x interviewees, in total than TC places.
