What the actual hell....these SJT reports are legit never accurate. I am actually fuming lmao Like not some test gaslighting me into believing what my strengths and weaknesses are. honestly I do not know why firms use these.
It’s honestly like astrology for firms and the feedback report is your birth chart.

It's wonderful that we all share our progress and good news here! 🥹 However, it would be even better if we could indicate which scheme we have applied for. Many of us have applied for summer schemes, and seeing updates from spring applicants progressing can make us anxious about receiving a "sorry for your outcome" (PFO) message when it could be that GR hasn't started reviewing summer applications. I apologise if I come off as a Debbie Downer; I just think this could help some of us feel less anxious. Thank you all! 🩷🩷

    Honestly, I loved the fact that Kennedys VI allowed you to view your answers before the next question. Gave me confidence by saying “oh okay doesn’t come across that bad if I stumble.” Like it was a split second or two that usually would’ve thrown me off.

    I have an AC coming up with a Magic Circle firm, and was wondering how I should go about be able to explain the difference between each firm? I have done research on the various departments they lead in and some other elements such as diversity initiatives, global strategies, etc, but was wondering if there was usually specific elements interviewers want to see?
