    A lot of people will be applying in their second year of uni so would have their final year followed by the SQE year before starting. You could have a gap year or some firms may allow you to bring your date forward if they have a need or someone else has deferred. If you are in your final year...

    It’s a pre recorded interview the same as a video one but they can only listen to the audio.

    I'm not sure about specific resources but firms often send through guidance on how to complete the test when you get the link. They are straightforward assessments which you don't really need to practice. I don't know the weightings but they definitely consider both. I got 95th centile for the...

    1) Yeah no long questions. 2) You can still prep for the Capp - look at their values etc. 4) You do capp/ WG at pretty much the same time

    I'm obviously not Jessica but I would say don't bother, especially not just for a VI invite. It's not going to benefit you and I doubt they would ever respond to it.

    Their spring scheme is next week so I would imagine they will start focusing on the summer schemes shortly. I wouldn’t be concerned that you haven’t heard anything yet - i’m fairly certain all the previous interviews were only for spring 👍

    Majority of firms are recruiting for Sept 2025. I have heard of people being able to start earlier if they finish SQE and the firm has spaces available but will obviously depend. Maybe worth having that conversation with them if/when you get offered the TC

    Travers Smith PFO to finish off my first (+ hopefully last) VS window. It's been a rollercoaster and I am excited to not constantly check my emails every day. Good luck to everyone still waiting on results!

    I would say so yeah, they pop up in a lot of the same rankings that Withers is strong in (private client, charities, mid market M&A etc).

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I personally think the best approach is to ask something based on whats been said in your interview. For example, you said you trained at X firm, what is it about Y firm that drew you to working here? I've always done that and I think it comes across well because it shows you are a good...

    I don't think it is unprofessional at all, I'm sure they understand people's availability etc changes from application to being offered. The worst they can say is no - I doubt it would negatively any decision about you. I've asked to change from VS to TC for two firms, one was more than happy to...
