    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Bakers PFO post-VI. This is now my 3rd VI that I've failed this cycle, and from past cycles I know VIs are my weak point, but I thought that this was my best VI so far. I also failed at this same stage for Bakers last year, which makes this more dejecting. I've never gotten to an AC and...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
