    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Yess I really agree with this! It might not be for everyone, but I found the info on future developments in annual reviews particularly helpful (e.g., how many lateral hires were made, which offices were under-performing worldwide etc. etc.). This really helped when it came to answering...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    The advice you’ve given for both aspects is extremely helpful and kind. This definitely gives me a lot more to think about and brings a perspective I’ve never considered. I tended to avoid LinkedIn in general (something about it feels a bit invasive honestly) and I think it might help if I...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hey everyone! I have two general questions, and would really appreciate if anyone could provide insight: How are Vac Schemes typically assessed? I know it may differ from firm to firm, but once you’ve made it to the scheme, is it safe to assume that everyone is on an even playing field i.e...

    That’s a relief - I still scraped a 2.1 overall for the semester but my soul briefly left my body when I saw my company law mark 😂 thank you for the responses, they’ve definitely calmed me down a bit

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hi! After you have accepted a VS/TC offer, does anyone know whether firms will still request a full breakdown of your modules once you graduate, or will they just need to see that you graduated with a 2.1? I got some of my marks back for first semester of third year and just

    Ooh thank you! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for a blazer - it’s definitely the one thing that’s missing from my wardrobe 😀

    Help buying/choosing professional clothing (especially for women)

    Hey everyone! I know that this is an older thread so I’m not sure how much luck I’m going to get for responses, but I am floundering a bit regarding appropriate clothing for a vac scheme. I already work in an office so I have some clothes, but I feel like my workplace is very relaxed compared...
