    Let's hear about TCLA members' hobbies!

    Just saw this thread - and I'm going to pop in and say hi! I am really passionate about *drum rolllll* interior design! Slightly off-beat hobby to have, I know, but ikea catalogues, interior design magazines, and learning about different schools of design really gets me going! In fact, at one...

    During a vacation scheme, are you required to inform grad rec if you have arranged coffee catch-up's with associates and partners? I ask because I understand there can be hundreds of lawyers at a firm and not all of them will have the opportunity to get in touch with grad rec and let them know...

    It will be super helpful to remember that while this type of behaviour might have made them feel and seem capable in the short run, this behaviour is hardly rewarded in a professional setting. These competitions arent just an opportunity to fill out your resume, but very substantive...

    Does anybody know what the TC conversion rate for Latham or Dechert is? Also does anybody have experience choosing between two different vac scheme offers? I understand this may be highly subjective, but what were the sort of factors you considered before choosing which firm's offer to accept...

    Free Month of TCLA Premium (Bronze) Every Week (21-22)!

    Thank you so much George :) I suppose one benefit of having such a long journey is that you get to accumulate a lot of experience along the way haha. I appreciate the free premium month and will be using it very wisely to prepare for my schemes!

    Honestly, what made the biggest difference for me was - mindset. After failing to convert my first vac scheme into a training contract and then failing to get any vac schemes for two years, I was devastated. I spent two years going through hundreds of applications made by other students trying...

    And with that Latham AC done and dusted, I am finally done with this year's application cycle! 18 applications, 5 AC's. and 4 (hopefully 5 soon) vac scheme offers 🥳 Going to spend the evening finally meeting my friends, hoping they still remember what I look like..

    absolutely! I also feel its extremely pertinent to point out that this is currently my third year of applications, and I have been rejected for every vac scheme I ever applied to in the last 2 years before I got to this point. In fact, I even contemplated taking the year out of applications and...

    Dont really have a conclusive answer to this, but from my experience if a firm wants to get in touch with you, they will! I missed a call about the outcome of my CMS AC, and was sent an email with phone numbers to call back on. So yes, most likely, if they have made the effort to contact you...

    Really agree with this. This was the first app cycle where I was able to send in apps to firms within the first 1-2 weeks of opening. I found that wherever I was an early applicant, my application was forwarded to at least the next stage of the cycle, so highly recommend this!

    I think I applied late Dec or early - Jan, and it was a pretty generic email, high standard of applications, cannot provide feedback at this stage, etc.
