    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Thank you so much for the help! Yeah it makes sense then. I did one at Clyde & Co a few years ago and they also told me with 2 weeks notice. I will wait until the end of November then. Please do keep me posted on how it goes for you and I will do the same.

    Hi guys! Has anyone heard from BCLP for their Spring VC? I applied for it on the 16th Oct and did the test and got the feedback on the 23rd but nothing on whether I passed to the next stage (VI) yet. I now it is rolling so I am afraid I already missed my chance.
