You know the market is cooked for new grads when there's 3,000+ applicants for a job that pays Β£40k. Not surprised that it keeps getting posted every quarter..π

Doesn't really seem like a real PE role but yeah 40k is really not bad in the wider scheme of British grad schemes so not surprised at the interest. + Grad hiring rn is fucked.
3,000 applicants from where only 100 are really qualified
90 min. final interview and case = 70% of those 100 fail, and you have 30 people that are really made for it.
