Hiya, is this by any chance in relation to OW's email request for that contextual survey? Anyone heard anything from OW yet?As for how they use it, I would be surprised if they let information disadvantage people, I think it is more to highlight the context of an achievement for students from a disadvantaged socio-economic background.

Literally same. That game was torture - the minute I finished, I made peace with the fact I was unlikely to be progressed lmao. Have you only applied to consultancies, out of curiosity?

nah, mostly tech stuff elsewhere. I already have an offer from KPMG but I don't have any idea of the pay yet (and think it will be poor). I've kinda just applied to everything I'm broadly interested in - Data Consultancy, MC, Economics, Analytics, Public Sector stuff. I don't really care where I work as long as exit opportunities, training and comp are good.

Had 2 AC's so far - Newton and KPMG. Newton's process is absolutely gruelling and I got rejected halfway through the ac lol...

Congrats on your KPMG offer! And thank you for sharing. I've just been applying to consultancy and analytical roles.

The Information Lab is taking applications for Graduate Data Consulting Analyst with a Feb 2023 start date. They are based in Central London, £35k which goes up to £40k in your second year. I've been contacted about it at least 2 times, so they are definitely keen to hire it seems. I'm not sure if you've already graduated and that start date will work for you, but if so it might be worth a look! :smile:

yeah this was my fear, I don't think this is really enough for Canary Wharf. I have a pretty strong CV though - so hopefully I'll get some other offers and can negotiate a bit lol!

If you go on glassdoor someone has already written an extensive and very useful summary under the interviews section.
