[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 182410, member: 2672"] My advice to most people is to apply for vacation schemes in the first instance, where you can because they are a great way for you to work out whether it is a place you want to work at before committing a number of years with a firm you might not be suited to. However, there will be instances where you will have to choose a direct TC route if: [LIST] [*]You are not eligible for their vacation scheme programmes [*]You are not available at the time the vacation scheme is running due to other commitments [*]You want to focus on other things like your degree (often the case why some non-law finalist avoid the winter and spring schemes, because they want to do well in their degree). [*]Visa restrictions would not allow you to work during term time [*]You are working and will struggle to get time off work to attend the scheme [/LIST] If any of these apply to you, then especially because you have your internship with CMS, you should apply for a direct TC route.
