The Lawyer-Linguists AD competition - what happened?
Hello, you may know that there were several competitions for lawyer-linguists scheduled to be opened on 24 September, but seem to have been postponed because the EPSO site now says they will be released in the "autumn (indicative)". Anyone have any idea what happened?

Internal positions
I have seen that - at least for special competitions, if you are selected you "just" get an offer for 4 years. After those 4 years are normally people leaving and need to find another job out of EU or is it "easy" once you are inside to get other positions within EU? Thx!
