Not quite right there speedy. I understand that if you missed out at the Rat you either weren't competitive at the time (more suitable candidates ahead of you), or your personality profile was not what they were looking for.
Quite a few of my friends didn't have the right profile to join the Rat but Cx thought they were just what they were looking for.
So, I wouldn't say simply- not good enough. Just my thoughts. I had the option of both but I liked the idea of early command at DJs and preferred their culture.
