I admire your optimismsurely we will hear from trowers tomorrow if they’re sticking to a september ac?
I can do one better than not converting and then securing at another firm. I know someone who didn’t convert a VS one year then the next cycle got a direct TC from the same firm.Does anyone know if firms look down on people who didn’t manage to convert a VS to a TC?
Or does anyone have any success stories of those who didn’t secure a TC from a VS but later secured a TC at another firm?
Would be much appreciated thank you!
I would recommend looking at this post from @James Carrabino - https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ng-contract-top-tips-in-2021.3454/post-112085Does anyone know if firms look down on people who didn’t manage to convert a VS to a TC?

I wonder if it’s a case of they’ve invited some applicants to do the ‘first set’ of ACs, and if they don’t like any of the ones they’ve invited, they then invite another set of applicants to do an AC, hence why you’ve not received any response yet. @Jessica Booker is this something that firms do?surely we will hear from trowers tomorrow if they’re sticking to a september ac?
I haven’t seen anyone in London get an AC offer here or in real life as I know a good few applicants in this cycle from the evening/ open day, and I know the London team changed their manager. I imagine this has completely caused chaos internally as another team member had to step into that management role while still needing the work to be done in their original role - which could explain a delay, esp considering they extended the deadline in any case. I think it’s just delayed vs them hosting a first stage Hunger Games style AC.I wonder if it’s a case of they’ve invited some applicants to do the ‘first set’ of ACs, and if they don’t like any of the ones they’ve invited, they then invite another set of applicants to do an AC, hence why you’ve not received any response yet. @Jessica Booker is this something that firms do?
Yes, that’s something some firms do on occasions that they need to.I wonder if it’s a case of they’ve invited some applicants to do the ‘first set’ of ACs, and if they don’t like any of the ones they’ve invited, they then invite another set of applicants to do an AC, hence why you’ve not received any response yet. @Jessica Booker is this something that firms do?
That’s what I saw too so I imagine the handover to whoever’s stepping into that position is causing a lot of delay. Is anyone on this forum still waiting to hear back from the Birmingham office?I haven’t seen anyone in London get an AC offer here or in real life as I know a good few applicants in this cycle from the evening/ open day, and I know the London team changed their manager.
