Ah - I did mine on the 13th! Think they must still be going through all the videos!
Fingers crossed we hear back from them soon/this week!

Do let me know if you've gotten a response! What scheme did you apply for?
I applied for the Assurance - Business Risk, Controls (Spring 2019)

I did my career conversation on the 16th of October and got my feedback on the 18th of November, so if its anything like mine it takes like 4 weeks before you get any feedback.
So what kind of feedback did they give you? Is it like specific on your job simulation or do they tell you whether you are invited for an AC?

It was just on my interview but it was related to PwCs capabilities so like business acumen and things. There was nothing about the AC or when I would hear about it which was kind of annoying but I guess it's another waiting game.

Take a breath. ACs get announced every Monday/Tuesday for the week ahead. Give it a couple of days and check back, if you haven’t seen one by next Tuesday then I’d call them.

Congrats on getting through to the AC though! I did mine about a month ago and have an offer. I’ll drop you a message to give you some advise!

Did they throw any suprises in during the day? They mentioned on the phone that they throw stuff in. What was the rgoup project like?

yeah in edinburgh. see you there maybe!

I have an AC in Edinburgh next week too. I was originally booked into one in Manchester but the student recruitment folk emailed to say they'd opened a Scottish one.

I've done one AC for the Scottish Government so I'm quite looking forward to seeing how this one works.

I wish they'd send out info about the AC automatically. It's a pain to have to wait for a phone call. I'm guessing it'll include test repetitions, in tray, group exercise and some form of interview. (From. What I've heard the partner interview has been replaced by a final reflection interview at the AC.
Has anyone applied for actuarial services? I've just done the final interview and I was wondering if anyone had already done it and how long it took them to get back to you.

I guess it depends on the scheme and location. I finished my video interview on Sunday and was invited to the AC on Monday evening. Then again, I've just finished a four-month application slog for the Scottish Government so maybe I'm due some quicker reactions!

Was this for PWC as well?

I applied for the Assurance Business Risk, Controls (Spring 2019) scheme! :/
Worried that AC places are going to fill up soon! :/

The video interview and AC? Yeah that was for pwc. (I actually got booted out after the video game stage but they reassessed me and brought my application back in.)

I applied for the Graduate Assurance scheme (Spring 19). I wasn't aware there was a specific BRC programme. Where abouts are you based?
