The wait is giving me such anxiety. I've literally been checking my emails constantly and checking my phone for missed calls every 5 minutes.😬
haha fully, v funny to think that all the candidates are probablyy experiencing similar emotions in anticipation. i dont normally keep my phone on while i study. but, because they've told us to expect a response around now, I feel I gotta keep my phone off silent and near me. V distracting thing to do.
 
should I email a firm if it has been 2 weeks since the AC?
It really depends on the firm - if they've told you that you'd hear back within a couple of days after AC, then yh you should email since it's been 2 weeks. If they've told you you'll be waiting around 2 weeks, then I'd wait another week or two before emailing. If they've not given you a timeframe at all, then I'd check out other posts on TCLA to guess on average how long other candidates have waited for and then go from there
 
I've just checked last year's comments on the V&E recruitment process, and it seems that they said they would tell everyone on March 16th, but ended up telling most people on March 18th. Either way, I'll be emailing tomorrow if we still haven't heard anything back.

Yh i'll need to email them anyway, still need to get travel expenses reimbursed. do you just email them a receipt of your ticket and your bank details?
I emailed them my ticket the day after my interview, but still haven't received a reply. I may just email them again to ask.
 
Finished my AC. Feel like my negotiation was a bit of a car crash… my partner just did not give me the opportunity to respond to anything in the negotiation and was super dominant and I feel quite upset that I didn’t get the opportunity to say my piece. :(
They will pick up on that - it might even look more unfavourably on your partner.
