Wow! Are they going direct TC?

Yeah so I got an email essentially saying 'Hi we're really sorry we've cancelled our Vac scheme, but we were going to offer you a place so in view of this we're going to invite you to an interview for the direct TC some time in summer when hopefully this has calmed down'

(this is my second cycle and I've done countless applications with no luck so to have had the half offer was a strange one haha. Obviously given everything thats going on at the moment I really can't complain)

Hi all, I just received an email with regards to the summer vacation scheme at BDB Pitmans:

"Due to the disruption caused by Covid-19 we are not in a position to finalise our plans for the vacation scheme at this time, once we have agreed next steps we will contact you to confirm".

Hope this helps :)

Update on Trowers & Hamlins in case anyone is interested:

This evening they sent over some information about how the firm are adapting their assessment:

• An interview with a senior associate or partner, to be conducted remotely
• A written exercise, to be completed remotely
• A verbal and numerical reasoning test

Details about booking an interview slot are due to be sent next week.
Apparently after this stage they will make summer vacation scheme offers.
