TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Hi all, I’ve got a 2-week vac scheme coming up and was wondering if that’s long enough to consider asking to do any pro bono work/ or see what they do? Is this a good idea? I know pro bono isn’t core to any firm’s business, but would be interested in any views on this?- James Wakefield

Does anyone know if the commercial exercise at Fried Frank is a group exercise? I read that on Chamber Student, but on the email from them it just says 'commercial exercise with two associates'. Thanks!- James Wakefield

I have a few q’s about this if anyone knows by the way, it seems like quite a unique assessment. Does anyone know how it’s split into sections, or the preparation time for the VI questions? Thank you!- James Wakefield

I didn’t convert after sitting in tax last year too but I think that’s because I was disappointed to be there and maybe that came across. But I was silly to be disappointed really. This is a 1 or 2 week experience which is so short. It’s not a career in tax and as long as you’re in the right...- James Wakefield

If I’m honest, I don’t think they will be sending them in batches as interviews start on 10th June. You never know. Just I’m not really one for false hope.- James Wakefield

They had sent out invites this time last year but it seems they are given out over several days. So it’s likely they’ve started I think.- James Wakefield
