Cleared IPPT after years of failing, so I feel your pain. Real talk: the RT (RT/FCC) is honestly not as scary as the dread. It is a fixed nu…
I stayed an extra 8 months for a 4-month bonus once and I regret it, because I did the actual maths wrong. Yes the bonus was real money, but…
I interview candidates regularly, so here's what I actually think when I ask this. I'm not expecting a fairy tale, I know most people leave …
