Think they said it would be after they’d finished them all at my AC and believe the last ones were only last week so hopefully soon!

still waiting on irwin mitchell after the ac!

We were told they were giving themselves until the very end of April to let us know outcomes, so just to put your mind at rest if you don't hear anything for a while Good luck to both of you!

haven't heard back from mayer brown spring vs post-job sim -- not looking good as the spring vs is meant to start in 2 weeks anyone else in the same boat?

I didn't even get the job sim so can only assume PFO for me. I emailed last week and they said they'd be in touch next (this) week with an outcome...

Hi @axelbeugre! Hope you are well Are there any resources for preparing for vacation scheme exit interviews? The database resources for VS interviews was so useful so I was just wondering if there was a similar document or if you have any advice.

Hello! If anyone has any insights or tips as to what to expect and how to prepare for the Debevoise vacation scheme it would be really appreciated!

Has anyone had their Mayer Brown summer AC yet or are they all next week? It doesn't mention interviews on the day, (just the written, fact find and group tasks), so wonder if anyone had any insight?

Have you got any onboarding details yet? Contract, right to work, etc?

The final interview is during the vac scheme so it’s just those 3 tasks at the AC

What’s your LinkedIn if you don’t mind me asking?

I was recently offered a VS with two scheme dates - just wondering if there is a general advantage / disadvantage for taking the former or latter scheme in terms of converting it into a TC? thanks this is squire patton boggs if anyone has firm specific info!

I personally don’t see there being any direct advantage/disadvantage of doing one over the other. Some will say you should do the earliest scheme in case they offer as they go, but firms will not over offer on earlier schemes for fear of missing out better talent in the latter schemes. For a firm like SPB, they have got a good number of TCs, are not going to offer every vac schemer, and not all vac schemers they offer will accept, so I don’t think it will be competitive amongst vac schemers.
