    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I think only those who applied for spring got AC invites. I applied for summer but haven't got anything besides an email thanking me for my patience and said that they would get back to me by the end of the month

    Does anyone know if Kirkland would continue sending out new batches of VI or the one last week was the end of it

    To be honest, we are the same so I don't think I'll have a lot to advise to you. But what I can tell you is that, particularly for Freshfields where hope is pretty much gone, is to accept the fact that we fail. It's gonna be ugly but if you face it directly, suddenly you will feel light as a...

    Sending warm hugs. I was feeling the same after a whole day waiting for Freshfields. It's just so hard sometimes to wake-up from a nap and your nightmare is still there. I think all we can do right now is to go outside for some oxygen to clear our mind and treat ourselves to a warm meal. All the...

    I might just give up hoping on Freshfields post WG. I mean their AC starts in 3 days and it's radio silence

    Perhaps they are trying to get, idk, the top 100 candidates that will go to the next round which means they will have to wait for all

    I don't think we should. I remember some ppl only getting their WG on Tuesday and they should get 3 days to complete it (which mean the dl is tomorrow morning.) Maybe Freshfields is waiting for those ppl result before getting back to us

    I don't know for sure but I think it will be logical for them to do the same

    Last year they invited about 120 for 60 spots on SPARK. This year, it seems that they only have 30 spots for SPARK so I guess 60 are invited

    No no, from my past experience at CC, it means that it will be your responsibility to introduce to the interviewer your work experience. I really like the CV blind process because you will be telling your experience for the first time, which will make it more interesting rather than them already...

    I don't want to say this applies to all firms. But I think that 1) we are not applying for a banker job so the emphasis on balance sheet wouldn't be that much. 2) from my experience, e.g, if you are applying to a finance-focus law firm, they would like to see if you know what type of financing...

    I applied to Kirkland in Nov and haven't even received a VI, while some have already gotten an AC. Should I take it as a PFO?

    To be fair, my motto is that you either be the first face or you close the show; preferably first face so that you set the standard and avoid bored your interviewer for giving somewhat similar answer to previous candidates.
