schestowitz"I heard many firms have given their trainees who have been affected by the cancellation of EQE a significant pay rise (as if they passed a few exams). I salute those firms and encourage others to follow suit as not everything should depend on exam results. You should also take into account the benefits a trainee gives to the firm especially when they are at a finalist stage. Many trainees at this level would have contributed May 04 01:58
