I’m really looking forward to getting started, are you signed up for Tuesday’s next steps meeting?

I joined. That was a lot of information. I'm still not sure I really understand what a tax specialist is and while they said there were no stupid questions that did feel like it might potentially be one. Guess I'll find out in 3 years!

Hi there, I'm so excited to finally get on the programme on my 9th try, got on the reserve list on my 1st and 4th attempt, such a relief to make it at last 😂

I already work at HMRC in Leeds as an HO caseworker, look forward to meeting you all in September.

Still waiting on mine! Went down to leeds to give my ID so it was nice to see the office and speak to people there!

I think they're snowed under with having so many places available this year. Mine has been delayed because I work part time and was on a list to discuss whether I wanted to do the full speed or part time TSP but had a chat with the current learning managers this week to confirm I want to do the faster version so mine might come soon!

As long as your checks have gone through OK the offers will arrive eventually... 13 weeks today we start so hopefully before then 😂
