I did not get the Capp assessment results too! (And did not hear back yet, my page is on candidate review when I log in)
Morning everyone,
This is so unrelated but here goes. Did three rounds of interviews for a really great job recently, including all kinds of tests that I studied hard to make sure I knew as I don't do all aspects of the role currently so wanted to show I could do it. Whilst applying for TCs etc, I have always maintained the thought that I should have a career also.
Anyway, I didn't get the job because they deemed me too experienced and too knowledgeable that I would outgrow the role too soon. Obviously absolutely gutted that they gave the job to someone else who did worse on the tests because there was room for growth for them and wouldn't need a promotion.
I was just listening to a podcast and they said "failure is how you come to the right result" so I am about to hand in my notice at my current job because I have realised that personal happiness is way more important than sitting in toxic work environments for the sake of getting ahead in a 'good' corporate career.
Basically just saying don't do something that doesn't make you truly happy just because you think it might be right.
Anyway, wish me luck and let's hope for better energy in 2020.
p.s. no-one ask me when I applied LOL

Hey there. Mind if I ask if this is for a VS or direct TC? I'm still waiting to hear back after their SJT and VRT for direct TC. Thanks!
Hey, it’s for a VS. I waited about a month to hear back after my tests if that helps. Good luck on your app!
Does anyone have experience with W&C AC/interview? I have mine next week and not really sure what to expect especially for the written task! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Got my A&O TC 2023 after 15 days of waiting post-AC!!! It's genuinely unbelievable.
I'll be drafting a detailed guide about the A&O interview but if there's anyone who needs help with A&O AC or other case study interviews, feel free to reach out to me.

I did the case study on the Wednesday and was invited to interview on the Friday
Did you have an AC interview at Links? Would love to know what you thought about and get some general tips/feedback on the processYeah it's hard but the first firm I was rejected from post AC I ate a whole tub of ice cream and felt super down. But if I had gotten than TC I wouldn't have interviewed at Linklaters which was a great experience and I learnt a lot in the process of preparing. So I think everything happens for a reason.
It also helps that I received another AC invite yesterday, although I am on holiday for the date so hoping it can be changed.
Hope you get good news from A&O
I just got rejected from Cleary. I havent heard a peep from Slaughters have you?
Hey Samar,
I think that you are absolutely right- I recently handed in my notice to my job because it was a really toxic environment although it was a brilliant role.
Being happy in life is so much more important than destroying your mental and physical health for a role that will take no time to replace you
