cheers palYeah I’ve tended to apply to firms who are well regarded for PE/Funds as that’s what interests me the most after my Weil vac scheme last summer
Naaa, I heard the grad recs at Travers are currently playing Jumanji
I have an interview with Jones Day tomorrow, if anyone has any questions about it - ask me Saturday morning!
Well, in all fairness to them, they state explicitly on their website that: "We offer three vacation schemes: the summer scheme for penultimate-year law students, and the spring and winter schemes for final-year and graduate applicants of all disciplines"
But I agree that it is frustrating - I could not apply for any winter vac schemes because I did not have any more days left on my annual leave (already took two weeks for a summer scheme I did a few months prior) and with some firms only dedicating their summer schemes to undergrads I am precluded from applying this cycle (unless for a direct TC).
I got the same e-mail last night. It's really annoying especially that I applied mid-November....
First of all, congratulations!
As some have mentioned, I would accept DLA and then revisit your options as you receive offers from other firms. You can always choose not to attend a vac scheme and/or reshuffle them in Spring/Summer.
One thing to consider is the TC conversion rate of the schemes. Even if you prefer the US firms, they often have many more vac scheme places than avaliable TCs, sometimes upwards of 40 or 50 for less than 10 places. On the other hand, firms with large intakes like DLA generally give offers to most of their vac schemers, so DLA is a great backup if the rest of your interviews are with US firms!
