    Totally depends on the firm but I'd say roughly 50% of those on a VS will get a TC. Higher for firms that hire exclusively from their vac schemes

    @Jessica Booker If a firm has no minimum grade requirements, will those with a high-performing track record be seen more favourable during the application process than somebody with less impressive grades?

    @Jessica Booker what does it mean when you apply to a firm and you are repeatedly being searched by people from that firm on LinkedIn? At first, I thought it may be a coincidence but this has happened for 3 weeks running now. Should I be worried?
