TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

Does that mean it's a PFO for the rest of us?

I wouldn’t assume so just yet! They might have not started getting back to the office you have applied to and apps just closed on 1 march ( i have only seen one person on the thread hear back i guess)
Best of luck!

Just curious, has Sidley made any post-AC Summer Vac Scheme offers? Had a Spring/Summer AC and wondering if the firm is sorting out Spring first before giving Summer offers

I'm wondering the same thing! Don't know if I should reach out and ask or not

Anyone heard from Brabners yet?

they emailed saying they will get back at end of month

Any Paul, Weiss VS offers today?

Any nrf offers come out?

Any Paul, Weiss VS offers today?

I would love to be proven wrong, but I feel at this point they are just working on crafting a nicely worded PFO email and maybe setting up a feedback call booking system. I really doubt there are any more VS places available

Guys i need help. I signed a contract for a vac scheme in the summer but now another firm got back to me and dates overlap.

Do you think it's possible to ask to be considered for a direct tc?

Hiya @allenpopi

Congratulations on securing two vacation schemes (such a good problem to have, even though the overlapping dates make it tricky)!

If one of these firms offers an alternative route, such as another scheme date or even a direct training contract application, I think it’s definitely worth reaching out and explaining the situation. You could ask if there's any possibility of considering you through an alternative route or for another scheme date. I've been in a similar position and firms are usually understanding, however it's important to remember that sometimes firms genuinely can’t accommodate these requests, in which case you might ultimately need to make a choice. Either way, I'd encourage you to contact the firm early to discuss your options. Best of luck!
