    SOOO SAD to see this thread closing! Lots of memories and memes in here <3 Thanks all for all your support - to concur with the others, I wouldn't be in the position I'm in now without this forum/thread. :) Now my actual question is... are any vac schemes actually going ahead in person this year?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    If I'm honest, my full-time job provided me with the experience to secure three vac schemes this year. I don't think I would've had as much success if I'd gone for a less commercial role. It was very tough with writing applications every evening after work, but it was worth it and also meant...

    Yes - if it's virtual it might be one week online like last year but they're planning it to be in person. The first week is a presentation week where everyone from across the UK offices comes to London. It's just so frustrating that I had to turn down another vac scheme for it :( But I am on the...

    Yes, it is!!!! I thought the same thing as it's tough from a logistic perspective given the lockdown date but here's hoping. It could very well be strategic!

    I was in EXACTLY the same position as this! Although I loved one firm, the other fit my requirements better and had a higher ratio of VS to TC places. I tried to be objective in my decision and not think about the people I had met and who I liked more from that perspective. I'm still hoping that...

    Don't beat yourself up!!!!!! Every single rejection adds to your experience and strengthens you as a candidate. You worked hard for the AC and should be really proud of yourself. Make sure you've made a log of the day including questions you were asked and the answers you gave, if you can...
