    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I'm in - but not sure how useful this will be compared to all the pre-vac-scheme-prep materials in this forum. I'll be leaving early though, for another appointment! *edit: i really like how there's the AS foundation to buy people equipment for their vac scheme if they can't afford it!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I'd say that it's important to be able to be interested in it, and bonus points if you have a personal understanding of it as well! For instance, I recently shared about Tesla's investment in Bitcoin and it's wider effects on Tesla's long-term growth narrative + effects on DeFi development and...

    I've just finished my Dechert AC today! Pretty shattered lol. It's two back-to-back interviews with a written exercise right before: a proper grind. Update on my first cycle: 23ish applications, 3 through to AC, 2 offers (Skadden and Ashurst) And waiting on a bunch of US firms like Cooley and...

    How have your background and experiences shaped your ability to excel at an international firm specifically? What can you market about yourself? What are your USPs and how do they set you apart from the others applying for this same role?

    Anyone have an idea on where I can find resources for the standard interview question: "What practice areas will be involved in this (hypothetical) deal and what will they be doing?" Not sure if they're on the TCLA courses or in this forum, would be super appreciative if anyone would be able...

    Goodbye, Fiat: Tesla’s Investment in Bitcoin

    A major risk factor to them (and to my holdings as well!) is the possibility of Satoshi's identity being revealed! I find it incredibly interesting that Coinbase is doing this - a few reasons why I think so: 1) Coinbase is majority owned by 5 main entities - the two co-founders, and three...
