Well folks, another week has come to an end. There’s been good news and bad news.

The main thing is that we keep going! These firms will NOT see the last of us, whether it’s this cycle or the next! We shall persevere.

I hope you all manage to get some rest and enjoy the weekend. Please remember to wind down even if it for a couple of hours as our physical and mental health is so important.

Super happy to be a part of this community, I look forward to every new message/reaction.

PS: Still hoping to receive some sort of an update this evening before 7pm lmao and @Tintin06 I hope you’re ok! We need one of your legendary updates my friend 😂

I have a Links AC on Tuesday, found out mid December. Did go to the open day and we got a fast track link! If anyone has any AC tips please let me know as it's my first ever and I'm not sure what to expect!!! - super nervous 😵 A

Also, does anyone who might've done an Links AC in 2023 or 24 have a crisis email exercise? It doesn't say there will be one on the assessment centre structure information but maybe they want to keep it a surprise?
Congrats🎉 you are going to smash it!

do firms assess the wg percentile based on all the applications in that application year, all applications for the scheme, or based on within that dated wg cohort
Can be any of those and a whole other range of norm groups, including current trainees, or even employees more generally. There are also graduate norm groups and national norm groups that can be used.
