I want to move to London in March/April from the US (have UK passport so visa not an issue). Would love any advice! How early should I apply? Is flying there for face-to-face interviews essential?

Directly after the hols. Most of Europe is back at work Jan 7. Skype interviews are absolutely ok and standard.
One q though: you know this is Brexit-time, right? Not trying to paint things black, but time might be tough.
What about mainland Europe? There’s teams working on global biz in Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Barcelona and more

Publicis is back 2nd Jan – but be aware of the hiring freeze for agencies within the Groupe. Takes weeks to get through the door. I wouldn’t worry about face-to-face if you have contacts in London (do you?) who can look at your book and/or pass it along to the right people. I wouldn’t leave it much later than March or April to start as you’d be competing with the ad school grads in June and July. They’ll be sorting post-grad work from April so get in there now. Often you’ll get a book crit and have to make a couple of rounds of changes before you get placed, unless you’re moving here with prior experience – in which case would you consider a mid role? If you’re a junior they’ll likely take you on a placement, and that’s not a guaranteed perm role. Feel free to message me if you’d like more advice etc!

@Edelman If she has a UK passport then that means she'll needs visas for EU countries when Brexit goes through, but UK immigration won’t change for her. Going to UK is def easier right now.

Heyy people,

Couldn't attend this interview at PwC due to last minute technical difficulties. I requested HR to reschedule it. She said it's not possible this week and she'll try her best for the next week. I am really tensed, I don't want to throw away this opportunity. I was really looking forward for the interview. Would they really reschedule my interview?

Hi fishes,
I had interviewed for Cognizant and I was asked to submit my documents for offer letter release. This happened on the same day as my interview(Friday 6th May). I submitted my documents and I am trying to contact the HR who scheduled my interview, but she is not picking up my call. My question is how soon can I expect the offer letter to be released? And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?
