TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[Jessica Booker]

I've emailed a firm about adjustments and haven't got a reply back yet what should I do? @Jessica Booker

Do you have a deadline for the assessment or is the assessment scheduled for soon?

Does anyone have any pre-AC imposter syndrome advice?

I have my first AC on Tuesday & feeling very much like an imposter & I feel it’s affecting my prep.

Realise everyone else in the AC are probably bigger imposters than you think you are. Even the associates themselves have imposter syndromes than you because it never really leaves completely, it just gets smaller and smaller the more senior you get. Also, there were thousand and thousands of applicants and you managed to be the few that got to the AC- if that's not a sign that you're not an imposter then nothing is.

Sorry to hear that!

How comes you applied again if you already had a vac scheme before?

 

[James Wakefield]

all these firms are saying “unprecedented levels of applications” and more are really stressing me out 😭😭 i wonder what the sudden surge is?

Hoping it’s explained by lots of very poorly written generic AI applications.

V&E post-app PFO - when it rains it pours hehe

When did you receive the PFO?

On Monday (I think - I deleted the email afterwards lol)
