TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Illtakeanythingatthispoint]

Anyone else just get an email from CC saying:

'Thank you for completing your assessment for our London Training Contract August 2026 & February 2027 role.

We will be in touch soon with an update on your application.'

Even though I received a PFO from them earlier this month? Any idea what it means?

Anyone else yet to hear from HL re Summer Vac

Has anyone heard from Penningtons post app?

Edit: for summer VS

Like this if you still haven’t heard from Mishcon. Am gradually losing hope

 

[Arf1309]

Sorry to hear. What did AC entail?

Interview with two partners and a group exercise!

My cycle now rests on NRF, who appear to have handed out all TIs? 😭😭

Is there anyone who still hasn’t heard anything from them to help put me out of my misery?

Mishcon PFO post VI. A bit gutted! But that’s the end of my cycle. Best of luck everyone!

You can but it is very difficult to be successful in the same year if nothing in your experience will significantly change, for instance you have some vacation schemes on your CV or significant work experience. I personally would wait for the next application cycle, especially if it is a firm you are keen to apply to.

Additionally, you could email them and ask them if you can reapply and how will you be assesses if nothing in your application changes, but I am pretty sure they will say the same things. Last year I got rejected from them after the video interview stage too and I did ask this question and they encouraged me to apply next year and that I probably would have not been successful at the direct training contract stage.

I’ve applied to W&C’s summer vacation scheme but wouldn’t be able to attend the dates anyway. I haven’t heard back yet - would it be fine to rescind my application and apply to the direct tc instead (would it have any impact on my tc applicarion?)

Thank you!

Mishcon PFO post-VI. This one hurts the most

 

[Arf1309]

Has anyone heard from Penningtons post app?

I know they’ve held at least two assessment centres and offered out some places of their schemes, hope you hear back soon!

Did anyone else just receive the email from Bird & Bird that they are still reviewing our feedback post-AC? Gave me the biggest scare😅

 

[AlegalA]

Think they have forgotten us lol. Pretty glad tho, I really messed up the question on where we would put a new office by trying to be quirky and unique.

Hahaha what did you put?

Do you know if this was for spring or summer?

I really hope they haven't handed out all TIs :/

 

[kmo20]

Does anyone know how long W&C take to get back post-AC? Or has anyone heard back already for summer who did the AC’s this week? Thank you

 

[LillyandSilver]

Hahaha what did you put?

All I will say is I talked about shipping... and I chose a landlocked country. I think it was pretty clear I did not take Geography.
