2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Last year I did 5 trash last minute applications and got past the application stage on 4 of them. I often look back at these applications and laugh at how bad they are. This year I’ve done 6 applications, well researched, spending days/weeks on them and had people look over them, and I’ve been...- Jason S

It shouldn’t solely be about the money. I know it’s why most people choose this career but you have to really love the work too. The hours are awful and your entire life becomes your job. If you hate the work itself then that will make it more unbearable. £100,000 + is a phenomenal salary, but...- Jason S

No, it’s a huge achievement and people are going to be happy about it. However, I’ve always found it funny when every post makes a point to publicly thank a long list of people. If I got a VS/TC offer and wanted to thank GR or my friends I’d just email/message them personally to say thanks! I...- Jason S

Just seems like a way to filter out “undesirable” applicants. University, and the years after, allows everyone, regardless of backgrounds, to engage in many extra-curricular activities and develop their skills. In regards to CC, which first year is going to have a better application? The state...- Jason S

You wouldn’t have to lie. Just ask to update your mobile number. Even if they did realise I’m sure they wouldn’t think twice about it- Jason S

Yeah London. Seen a load of VIs and ACs, I think even a VS offer itself, so not sure what their approach is- Jason S

. Exact same thing happened to me. Took the test years apart and I had forgotten everything about it so it wasn’t like I changed my approach. Literally the stupidest way of filtering out candidates. Felt like sending my PwC report to Gowling after they rejected me to ask if my other...- Jason S

It’s the personality report that matters not the score itself. However I’ve taken the test twice and been given different personality reports so I think it’s a load of nonsense tbh- Jason S

Cant imagine it’s much worse than the other top firms. You have no life but you get rewarded with a salary that puts you near the top 1% of earners in the UK.- Jason S
