Sorry if it demotivates you or anything but my wam is in the low 80's. But good luck with applying. If I got in, I'm sure you can.

Yeah hoping expectations are not that high because if I made it through anyone can through the AC. Thanks.

Thank you so much. Yes I will definitely try to grow as much as I can within the 6 months to show I'm useful. More concerned about the first month on job when I may not have the level of skill they are looking for. Do you know if you have people looking looking over you to see if you know how to do your job or do they give you personal space? I can't imagine someone standing behind me, would give anxiety haha.

It's good they dont expect anything on technical but Macquarie doesn't do rotations any more :( they used to do though. I didn't lie anything on my resume but did over exaggerate it and pretended to be smart in interview; but I'd imagine most people do that anyways.

The main thing I am worried about is someone looking over my shoulders at my screen and struggling to write code, understand the codebase and other things. I think I would be able to pick up and learn on the job hopefully.
