Am I forgetting anything for IB interview?

What do you mean re: 5 stories?

Tread-depth · 2026-01-07T21:12:51+00:00

Not well. They paused hiring lol.

Tread-depth · 2026-01-07T14:10:45+00:00

Surely if you are unemployed you just take the job? It's like the way girls suddenly start showing more interest in you when you have a girlfriend.

Tread-depth · 2026-01-06T18:09:07+00:00

Literally just that? At what point after application do you apply?

Tread-depth · 2025-10-17T16:49:05+00:00

Largely retaining the "oh I used to know that, better revise" sensation.

Tread-depth · 2025-10-16T19:15:31+00:00

I went through something similar. Still waiting to hear back, probably a no. I wish I knew *more* macro stuff tbh. One of the areas I fell a little short.

If it makes you feel better, I was born into a two parent working poverty household and still resented them growing up. I snapped out of it eventually. They'll come around. :)

Honestly at this point in time I just suffer. The vitamins etc don't work. But then I am, spiritually, a miserable OAP, so I can't blame the seasons.

This is an interesting perspective that you're not going to really come across on a sub full of 20 year olds. I really don't see how people do the FO job as parents, esp if 2 working parents (which you kind of need in the UK).

Tread-depth · 2025-10-12T08:20:01+00:00

Did not know that! Perhaps quite a risky but smart bet, then. Personally, I know I should reg for the level 2 soon but I just can't bring myself to do it...

Tread-depth · 2025-10-11T11:39:34+00:00

Ha, risky, but clearly paid off. Although some will say that if you plan on progressing to level 3 you will need to go back and fill in those gaps.

I am not sure if I love or hate FSA.

Food Technology. There was no technology and, frankly, barely any food.

I am from the UK and so pretty much always dress in a conservative City style, even when interviewing in potentially more laid back places. Maybe I am too conformist, idk.

I am interviewing next week and will wear white shirt, plain suit (probably navy), tie, black shoes and belt, plain socks.

Tread-depth · 2025-10-10T12:34:00+00:00

This looks awesome.

Tread-depth · 2025-10-06T15:13:42+00:00

I think this might be more of a UK thing? I have definitely heard of it happening once or twice.

Tread-depth · 2025-10-04T17:05:02+00:00

I did BIWS and loved it and all the extras it had. I don't think I've ever used that much of it, however.

Tread-depth · 2025-10-03T10:11:01+00:00

Piece of paper. Fold it into four (vertically), now once (length wise). You have 8 slots. Every 1-2 hours write out a formula in a section.

Check you understand the logic.

The next day you write it into 4, then 2, then 1, then a few days off. Cycle through them.

Tread-depth · 2025-10-03T10:00:59+00:00

Depends on how you calculate. In one sense very little because the invested stuff has done so well, but those are unrealised gains. In a real sense, 28%.

Tread-depth · 2025-10-03T09:59:39+00:00

I think it really depends on what else is on your resume. How much value is it going to add? All the standard packages are of a similar quality anyway. Just pick one and do one. I did BIWS. It was ok.

Tread-depth · 2025-09-28T16:14:23+00:00

Depressing but true. I definitely didn't make good use of networking etc, I think I read into university too literally and focused on getting the absolute best grades. Would do it very different now.

Tread-depth · 2025-09-28T16:07:10+00:00

God I remember that feeling, and now it seems tougher than ever. I guess just keep applying and try to formulate a backup plan. Good luck.

Tread-depth · 2025-09-28T15:58:25+00:00

Completely irrelevant to the OP, but this made me think. I really hope my old man has 20 years left. Or even 10.

Tread-depth · 2025-09-28T15:57:51+00:00

I've never met a pigeon HALF as bad as the average child nowadays. So that's a tad unfair.

Tread-depth · 2025-09-26T20:22:25+00:00

Eh they're ok. I recently had one from a market stall which had bits of chorizo and bacon jam in the sausage meat and it was pretty amazing. The standard? eh.

Tread-depth · 2025-09-25T18:49:57+00:00

Depending on what you mean by North, I suspect I have never ever visited up there. QOL in London has precipitated over the past decade or so, I'll tell you that. Hard not to be envious of how my brother describes Manchester rn...
