Hi everyone, I really need help.

Did an AC with HSF and I know someone on the AC with me got a phone call a few hours later with an offer. I was told it could take a week and have heard that sometimes they call others later on in the week. I genuinely felt the AC went well. Has anyone got any information about this- specifically if they do call you a week after?
Hi, congrats on your AC, I can't answer your question but I was just wondering if you could kindly let me know if this is for the spring VS?

Hope all is well! I don’t want to say “don’t worry about it” because I completely get your uncertainty and doubt.

My friend who has a TC with HSF was in the exact same position. Waited almost a week to hear back. The silence was gruelling. Turns out the partner who made the decision went on a ski trip, explaining the delay!

It’s unfair to wait that long but it puts in to perspective why. Could be an administrative issue. When you know, it will be worth it.

Thank you for taking the time to write this, I appreciate it.

Yes it was :)
Also got the call few hours later (2023) ... But maybe they are still interviewing :) Be optimistic.
yes they had another AC today. I’m hoping I get an offer.

I have an AC for a vac scheme but I’m thinking about whether I will be able to leave work during summer for the vac scheme, is it reasonable to tell this to grad recruitment and ask if I can interview for a TC instead ?
