    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I would assume it's the standard call to offer/email to PFO, but given we don't know their timeline in terms of making offers I don't see any reason to assume a PFO at this stage

    Mine was on 24 March. We were told we'd hear back early May so I was very surprised to hear back so soon

    I just got a missed call from Mishcons grad rec saying they'd like to speak with me for 5 mins for 'feedback' after my AC for the summer VS. Did anyone else get a call today and if so what was the news? Would like to think they wouldn't bother calling to reject but 'feedback' sounds ominous...

    These are such good stats. I really do think that around 10-15 high quality apps with a lot of firm research/engagement can be the sweet spot for a lot of people, especially when you're working! I'm also working full-time. I've done 11 apps (1 more to do) and I've found success with this...

    At one of my ACs there were four of us and I was the first one out of the interview by a mile - I'd say by 15 mins or so - and I got a VS offer. Don't overthink it - especially if you talk fast like I do!!!

    Sure! I've actually been working on this myself recently as it's a huge weak point of mine, and I really like how Vanessa Van Edwards deals with the topic. She's written a few books and has a website/YouTube channel - her interview on Diary of a CEO was fantastic and I'd highly recommend. She...

    Unfortunately there is always a possibility that discriminatory attitudes will influence hiring at any stage of the process. For example, the name on your application will give away whether you are male or female and may also indicate your race. Even if your name is hidden when your...

    I got the email at 1pm the day before, so if you still haven't heard and yours is tomorrow I'd probably get in touch with them

    There's a brand called New Rebels which does rolltop waterproof backpacks in a wide range of colours - I have one I use for work and I've seen lots of other people in the City using them. They're about £40 so it depends on your budget.

    No not yet, planning to apply on the deadline. Was mainly thinking about timings if I end up getting an offer from one of my summer vac schemes and W&C are progressing me at the same time.

    I would echo a lot of what @Chris Brown said in his reply to you. I'm 24 turning 25 and this is my first year with any VS offers (and my first year getting any ACs since my second year of uni, which was in 2021). I know how frustrating it can be - it feels like everyone in my uni cohort has...
