    If anyone has any experience in obtaining annual leave from a full-time job who is strict about when they allow you to take it, please DM :). I can't tell them it's for a VS but I also sort of need to give a reason to ask for the AL (or not?).

    You should accept the TC offer then renege if you convert the VS, or keep it if you don't.

    Luck plays a larger role in this process than most realise. C'est la vie, malheureusement. If your situations are not dissimilar as you say then you should genuinely be happy - it follows that there is no demonstrable reason you cannot have the same success she is having.
