    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    The VI questions were just general motivations and understanding of Dechert; for the written exercise you can’t really prepare but It was only one task to do which was drafting an email to a client, my tip that I got would be to use informal language and italics/headings to make it more easier...

    I would have 6-7 scenarios practiced where you displayed multiple competencies and pracitce them following the STAR format because it sounds articulate. When competencies overlap like teamwork, communication etc, priorities scenarios that have niche competencies for later, e.g., innovative...

    I have an assessment centre with HSF for their SVS early February, still waiting on Hogan Lovells after progressing to the review stage from their WG test, still waiting on Dechert post VI and written exercise. Is anyone else still waiting on Dechert or HL?

    First Year Open Days/Insight Schemes 2021/2022

    I think it will be like vacation scheme interviews, I can imagine they will ask why commercial/why Weil as motivational questions and then for commercial questions they will probably ask what our understanding of private equity is since they specialise in it. Then just general competency...

    Yeh same, I think I might have spoke to fast I was a little confused at first, when I completed the VI it said there would be a case study element but when I got the email for the final stage it said it would just be with grad recruitment.
