    Hi, I sent my application to Reed Smith on Tuesday but they did not even send a SJT to me.... Do you think it's a PFO?
    Don't worry! I sent mine last Thursday and still haven't heard anything so I'm glad I'm not the only one. From what I can gather the SJT forms a part of the initial application process and so is an automatic requirement, the only problem is that RS have to trigger it. It might just be the case that they're waiting to send out as many SJTs as possible before the final deadline. It's not a PFO :)

    Ah ok thank you! I applied last year and got the test almost immediately so I started being afraid...
    This is the 4th (!!!) time I am applying to them and it's been varied. It used to be the second stage of the screening process but now they send it automatically - as someone else mentioned they just have to trigger it. I have also seen that some people got their VI invite but this is not set up yet so it might be that they want to focus on developing that before sending out more SJTs - hence why there is a delay this year in comparison to last year. In any case, not a PFO :)

    Just wanted to throw out for people looking to boost commercial awareness that I recently subscribed to Matt Levine's free 'Money Stuff' newsletter. It's from Bloomberg but free - extremely informative, incisive and funny (did I mention free?) A bit american-centric and I think at its best if you already have some familiarity with financial markets, but super accessible and very fun.

    Has anyone heard back from A&O after ACs last week? They said it could be either 2 weeks or next year, but the longer I wait without hearing, it feels like a no. I know I did terribly so not hopeful, I just want to know so I can move on!
