TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

I don’t think this is a fair thing to say. Just because you get a VS, there’s no guarantee you’ll actually get the Training Contract. Often, less than half do. So, I don’t think it’s kind to guilt people for wanting to take the opportunities offered to them.

Regardless, I wish you all the best with getting off the waitlist.

That’s not what I’m saying, all I meant was if people have accepted other schemes/ are unable to attend CRS’ scheme dates they should take themselves off the reserve list.

At the rate PW are going, there should be like a support group for being aired by them…

“Hi my name is…. And I have fallen victim to PW”

[badmintonflyinginsect]

Hi! Sorry to put this here but not sure where else to post! I love TCLA and its been a huge help for me, but I have struggled getting help from the support team. I lost access to my TCLA premium at least 5 months ago but am still being charged each month. I've put in 3-4 requests to have this fixed but still no luck getting a response (maybe the zendesk thing isn't working?). How can I get this fixed and possibly get my money back since it's a lot for me as a student :/

Hi there - please can you email me at [email protected] and copy in the usual Zendesk email and I will look into this today.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL WAITING FROM PAUL, WEISS POST-INTERVIEW:

Not sure if this is considered inappropriate but I just thought it would be nice for all of us if we do a simple 'experiment'... I'll explain.

For context, I know that PW has sent more interview invites that are now being held that extend at least until next week. They have filled all Spring places for sure and a few on the Summer scheme, so these interviews are going to be the ones that make up for the last couple of spots for Summer.

A few of us have sent emails to chase for a timeline for the outcome, based on legitimate personal reasons. As far as I'm aware, they haven't replied to any of us, nor sent out any PFOs post-interview.

Here's what I'm proposing:
- We can all react to this post that indicates whether we selected only Spring, only Summer, or both for our scheme preference. (Wow emoji for Spring, sad emoji for Summer, and angry emoji for both)
- We will wait until we eventually hear back from PW.
- We can then come back to this post and check if any of us have actually been offered a place on the Summer scheme.

Purpose of this 'experiment':
- To see if we are really being ghosted here or if we are basically being placed on something like a waiting list.
- To get a better understanding of how PW is reviewing interviews, e.g. whether they have basically decided to reject those who applied for Spring and are only deciding between those who chose Summer or both Spring and Summer.

I believe this is something we can do in our very limited power to get ourselves a clearer picture of how recruitment works for PW, albeit retrospectively, particularly when clarity is not offered to us.

Still ghosted post-app…. 😂😂😂😂 At this point i would just like to know why, if some PFOs have been given out already
