    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I didn't have any coffee chats during my VS which I converted. Only spoke with others outside my team during the intentional set-up networking sessions

    Dear TC Diary

    Saw someone on the main threads use this sort of graphic so thought I'd do one for my own applications! Much easier to visualise.

    Can't believe this one, but Addleshaw Goddard VS offer! (Glasgow/Edinburgh - Spring/Summer) Guess it shows that even the worst interviews with the worst case study performances can also have a chance 🥳

    First ever AC completed this afternoon. Can we get a prayer circle going to make it a good outcome... Hate how you can never really tell how it went because the interviewers will nod along to anything I spout making it so hard to judge 🤞

    Out of curiosity, if you have a presentation at the start of the interview and the firm gives you the option whether to use slides or not, is that something you would use? ✅ ❌?

    Thank you! This is somehow number 4 and they're all taking place within one week so I'm considering having to turn 1 down to try manage which is a really privileged thing to be able to do, but also so risky as they could all go awful 🫠
