    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Every time I give up and say that my cycle is over now, and I get through next stage with a firm. Thanks NRF for saving me last minute (VI). I see many slots available guys, so there's still a chance :)

    Debate with me

    According to the insider, the firm is investing too much in its trainees (50T * 150k) and partners (1.5 mil average), while ignoring the big portion of associates. This has resulted in a huge gap in salaries, and encouraged associates to look outside. It is predicted that W&C will collapse at...

    Debate with me

    W&C is losing associates and the progress margin of its salaries from NQs to 7+PQE is very low, which is only 50k (inside Information), that’s why I would never consider it a direct competitor to US Law Firms, at least from this perspective.

    I am wondering whether AC invites for Mishcon Spring VS were given on batches or only through 1 time. Anyone can please help in this regard to see if I should expect PFO at this point ? (Congrats for who get invited to the AC)

    Clyde & Co Training Contract application

    Tbh, I submitted my application since October, so I forgot this detail. However, I remember that I listed all my grades somewhere, including the GDL and LPC. I am wondering how the application is still open, as they progressed people to VI and waiting for an AC.

    I was in the same position last year, and the Law Firm never asked about this kind of permissions, as I would feel the same as you (I don't feel comfortable to disclose this to my current employer). Also, I have an upcoming VS, and I don't think they will ask me to disclose my scheme to my...

    I am in a similar position. I have a SVS coming up, and two direct TC ACs. Also, I have a few applications left to hear back post VI or post app. However, I decided to apply to the direct TC cycle, because you really never know. I knew few people who couldn’t convert 4 VS in one cycle, and...

    Well ! I called them to double check as it doesn't make sense to require all candidates to have work permit in Dubai, and they cannot sponsor it as an international firm. They said they will call me back as the AC is next week. Hope you hear soon. Anyone else heard back with an AC from Simmons...

    I have just heard back with an AC ! But I didn’t know that they require you to have work permit in Dubai. They asked to provide a proof of work there. Do you think they don’t provide visa ?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Yeah I can tell you exactly the situation. I did my VI 7 weeks ago, and got the rejection today after insisting to get a response ASAP. I argued them that people doing VI after me getting AC invitation. So basically, they want to offer the people they like first and leave the rejection to the...

    Literally, I was begging W&C to send me my rejection on the phone rn. I asked that I need to know if I am progressed to AC or not ASAP, as I have full time job and I should ask for my annual leave 6 weeks in advance. I applied to spring VS and I cannot postpone it to summer as it overlaps with...
