    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I imagine there's no real 'norm' and it just changed firm by firm. I did a case study at a US firm and it was 15 minutes prep (but the information was only 1 and a half pages long). So its likely the longer it is the more information you are given to analyse. As for written exercises I did one...

    I’ve applied to W&C’s summer vacation scheme but wouldn’t be able to attend the dates anyway. I haven’t heard back yet - would it be fine to rescind my application and apply to the direct tc instead (would it have any impact on my tc applicarion?) Thank you!

    They are relatively quick - some people have gotten invites on the same day or day after. However, I wouldn't be too worried if its been a bit longer as Ive heard of people having to wait 3-4 days as well :)

    @axelbeugre Do you have any advice for group exercises and what type of tasks they may consist of? Additionally, if you have already done a competency/motivation heavy interview in a previous stage, is it likely that the ac interview will be more technical? Thank you!

    If you are asked about a recent commercial case, does this need to be an actual deal/transaction, or could it be a wider issue like the attacks in the Red Sea?

    I think I got sent it around 3-4 days before. It didn’t really tell you anything new though. Basically just said you can’t prepare for the written exercise and mentioned how you should really get to know the firms values and why u want to work there/be a trainee.

    I applied in October and got given an interview in November. But the interview was scheduled for the 7th of Feb (which was the earliest slot), since the interviews are still going/potentially haven't started yet you should be fine.

    @axelbeugre For an AC interview, how long would be too long for a 'Why commercial law' or 'Why this firm' answer. Thank you

    I'm probably not qualified at all to give advice given this is my first application cycle. Regardless, the fact the you got a vac scheme with a MC firm is a good indication that you definitely do have the skills, so don't give up. The rest of your experience looks quite good. The only thing that...
