    Would a firm have an issue with me accepting a TC for another firm, before having started their VS?

    Thank you. I know I want to start studying in January, rather than July (the two options firm B offers). B fills their trainee studying slots intake on a first-come-first-served basis, and starting earlier is far more popular (HR told us that they really struggle to fill later slots). A's VS...

    @Jessica Booker Hi! I've signed a contract with firm A to do a VS, but my circumstances have changed a bit in that I've received a TC offer from firm B that expires, even with extension, before when I would hear back from firm A after firm A's VS regarding a TC offer from them. I'm quite tempted...

    Neither did I. SH didn't do ACs this year to my knowledge, saw elsewhere on here

    Tbh I think they might be - they've asked to hear by EOW if I accept, and they must know they're late in the app cycle and that people might have accepted VS offers elsewhere. Meaning if people reject, they'll work down their own list

    Hey guys. I'm really lucky in that I've got two VS offers for early Summer, that unfortunately overlap. One of my parents suggested doing them at the same time, which seemed unhinged, but I was wondering whether anyone had done it? I think conflict of interest would be a problem, as well as...

    Yes, they've started sending out acceptances. They have been doing this today, and yesterday. Haven't seen any rejections yet

    Thank you Jessica. So to clarify, let's say that 1. I don't self-fund the GDL and instead apply for winter of 2024-2025 vacs. 2. I get one, do it over Christmas and receive a TC offer afterwards. 3. Would the firm from which I get my vac then pay for me to start the GDL in January? Or would...

    Hey everyone, feeling a bit existential rn. Had a question for you. I'm 3rd year non law, and applied to 20 firms this year. Rejected from all but one, I've got a Summer VS at a big international corporate firm. Application window is closed, and I haven’t made any non-law grad scheme...

    Anyone heard back from Bakers after a Spring AC? Ik they said end of next week, but I'm wondering if they had called anyone, as I'm aware some interviewers at some firms do that if you're a dead cert.

    Non-law applying to VSs for the first time. I've sent off 20 applications and secured 1 VS, 7 rejections so far. Have I sent off enough applications?
