Obviously that would be great but they'd be mega competitive unless you know someone in the industry. Tbh I'd just write to high street firms near you that do a bit of commercial work and ask to work for them for a couple of weeks. I got some small-scale transactional experience by doing that and was able to draft various ancillary documents and manage a part of the signing process. All that is v applicable to the work of a trainee and less competitive to get
How do people deal with post-AC PFO anxiety or whatever it is called that affects you after being rejected post-AC!
I am a recent graduate from a Russell group university and this is my first cycle of vacation scheme applications. I have low A Level grades however, I was able to get VIs from some firms but I did not pass them. I am thinking of reapplying next cycle.
@Jessica Booker what do you suggest I should do in the meantime to increase my chances next cycle.

Has anyone not heard back from Dechert post VI/written assessment for summer? I did mine over a month ago and im assuming PFO

I wouldn’t assume anything with Dechert to be honest - they can be very slow as the team is very small
Thank you! That's really kind of you. London office - personal services.
this might be a silly question, but when firms ask "why did you apply to this programme/what challenges might you face during this programme", are we meant to be talking about their vacation scheme or their training contract? I'm assuming it would be the VS, but since most of them lead to TCs i can't help but feel the TC should also be addressed???

I would do it for the programme you are applying to only. So if that is a VS, just focus on the challenges within the VS rather than talking about what it could be as a trainee. As they are saying “this programme”, to me talking about future opportunities would not be answering the question.
Anyone heard from Denton’s after video interview?
Are people receiving invites for IM business services London AC? might be a PFO at this point.
