Hey, sorry I didn’t respond, I had no idea what to expect at the interview. I hope yours went well regardless. They said to expect a result within 2 weeks, were you told the same?

They told me the same thing but it’s been 5 weeks since I have completed my interview.

They tell everyone 2 weeks, but often take far longer. At least what ive seen this cycle.

Can you please tell how many weeks after you got your result?

Hello, It went well. Hope yours went well as well! They mentioned that they still have many to interview and that they will get back in 2 weeks irrespective of the result. However, looks like it is going to take much longer.

I had an interview scheduled for the Project Management Graduate Scheme with Faithful + Gould for 15/12/22. This then got cancelled due to a lack of assessors, to which I was told there was no rescheduled date yet. I emailed a couple of weeks ago to chase this as I still hadn’t heard anything and I got a prompt response offering me interviews for 2 other offices, but that London was still being finalised. So, for whatever reason, I think there might be a bit of a delay with project management at the moment. Definitely email and ask.

Thank you for sharing. I emailed last week, got a prompt response that they are still reviewing applications.
Why don't you consider either of the two offices offered?

Hi congrats on your offer. Did you need security clearance for your role (sector)?

Yeah, I think security clearance is dependant on the team you chose. ADS&T team would require clearance.

I am based in Kent and the other offices were Tunbridge Wells and somewhere else outside London. Due to my location, it's actually easier and faster for me to get a train to London rather than drive to TW, not accounting for rush hour traffic. They also confirmed over email that the other 2 offices would have a lower salary due to being outside London, which cemented my decision not to take on the extra commute hassle!

The non-london offices are £32k i think, does anybody know what London salary is?

Interesting, how did you find this out? Had I had known I might have actually considered it a bit more. I assumed London offers would be around the £30k mark with non-London being around 20% lower. With this in mind, I would assume that London offers would be anywhere north of £36k.
