For people that applied to PMC but have not heard back - what is the "last update" date for your application on their website? Mine is 04/01, which is the day after the deadline, and idk if that just means they processed my app or if it means they had my answer of PFO/next stage on the 4th?? (In which case it's deffo a PFO but could've been informed ages ago)

Nothing, and getting ghosted by HR as well :/
What’s going on with all these firms ghosting applicants? It’s low-key insensitive in my opinion. I haven’t dealt with it myself (yet) but I can imagine how demotivating and demoralising it can be for people that are getting ghosted (for no reason). 🥲

These firms all ask for communication skills but can’t communicate a simple application outcome, which is almost always a generic automated email anyway. Apologies for my small rant lmao. 😂​

In W&S's case, they can't even confirm an application receipt 😅
