I heard it from CAS himself, that there will be 2 'Branch' ALM slots available this year but the question is who will take them up. The candidates who are all in the frame for the positions will most likely have already taken the offer of PA as it was clearly stated that commission opportunities has ceased unless you wanted the side step of 'Ops Support'. As part of the contract for accepting PA, you had to sign to say that you would not apply for a commission ! So where do we stand now ? If it is possible to keep the PA terms aswell as excepting Branch then its a done deal but some clarification is required.
