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
Had a dream got two emails from Mishcon. Like at this point put me out of my misery 🤣
do you know what date the AC is?They said they will contact us week commencing 8th April
Squire Patton Boggs and Vinson & Elkins Vacation Scheme Offers!
Anyone still waiting on Withers post test?
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.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

I do not necessarily know about the specific scheme in question but I shared some tips on how to convert a vacation scheme and things to focus on so I will share it here:

Alternatively, there is another article which is really useful:

Convert your vacation scheme into a training contract | The Corporate Law Academy
We spoke to Rosie Watterson, founder of the blog Apply.Shine.Win, to learn how students can convert their vacation scheme into a training contract offer.

I hope this is useful!
Another main tip is probably to reach out to future trainees on LinkedIn as they would know first hand what to expect and although some will not reply, others will and you never know, they might be extremely helpful. This is what I did when I was applying last year and I found incredible people who helped me massively.
