Yep, I'll be in Canary Wharf in September
. I found it strange all the tech companies I was going for didn't want me, but that I got swallowed up by a management consultancy 
.
I like the idea of the rotational training scheme though - the hope is to come out of it with enough acumen to do my own startup at some point.

My play finished last night and I feel sort of lost! We've been working on it since October. It seemed to go down really well though, so yay

Re: The Cambridge Chat Thread - it's over 90,000!Thank you so much Camchatters for your help on the bike thing. Really helpful, couldn't have done it without you. Just pulled an all nighter getting the report together. Not great, but it's in. So thank you very much and if I could rep you all I would.

Good luck!Good luck, Crazy Emz!Thanks! I actually really enjoyed the experience (there was a group assessment task, which was quite fun to do, if a bit nerve-wracking, and then an individual interview)...does that mean I'm a masochist? I don't want to say the name of the organisation because I'm a little paranoid, but English language teaching abroadGood luck! What for?
Many congratulations!In that case I'll see you there - I heard this morning that I got the job. -

Re: The Cambridge Chat Thread - it's over 90,000!What would the world do without tabloids? For reasons that I can't quite remember, I was checking the website of the largest German tabloid and found this gem:
"Top 5 signs your crush isn't really into you:
-She/He avoids touching you or being touched.
-She/He doesn't call you or doesn't answer your calls.
-She/He can't remember things you have told her/him before.
-She/He avoids eye contact.
-She/He always comes up with excuses for not being able to see you."

I've never really thought myself as "overqualified and undereducated", but now that I think about it...(Original post by BigFudamental)

Congrats! Are you moving to London round then too? I'm probably going to try and arrange a KPMG flatshare... And yes I'll be moving to London around then, so I could possibly be interested in a KPMG flatshare, but I'm not sure yet as I might have some other options to look into first.

Does anyone know where I could find exam timetables? I know the ones for this year won't be up yet, but if someone could point me towards the 2011 ones for IB NatSci, I'd be very grateful... I know the start dates, so I can figure out when they are!

Re: The Cambridge Chat Thread - it's over 90,000!It's alright, I was reading an Equity Law (shares and trusts) textbook which decided to explain something in the context of people fancying you:(Original post by Y__)

"Presumptions work by saying if Fact A and Fact B are present, they point to Fact C. However, the presence of Fact A and Fact B do not necessarily result in Fact C. For example, if someone constantly makes eye contact with you, makes an effort to speak to you and engages in gratuitous touching with you, this can be taken to mean they would like to pursue a romance with you. However, these factors do not necessarily mean they would like to be more than friends"

Well done Alex!
For Economics we could work it out by using the dates on the past exam papers, since they tended to keep the order the same.(Original post by Topaz_eyes)
