TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

There’s always someone who is so dominant and talks at full force while leaving no room for others to interject and voice their opinion.

The thing that is really frustrating is that if everyone does the same, the group gets nowhere. You need timekeepers, people volunteering to write/ make pp slides, or just objectively take one for the team. However, objectively it feels as though those people are more likely to get overshadowed when others are able to get more of their opinions in

I think the even bigger issue is if you get unlucky and the team consensus is wrong/bad. It’s lose-lose because either you go with the groupthink even though you know it’s wrong, or you try to push on it, but every time you do, it puts you at more and more odds with the team.

There’s truly an element of luck involved. If they actually want to see how you work as a team, do it in a way that you team up with current trainees for instance that don’t have a stake in the exercise.

My two cents any way.

Depends on the firm. I know ashurst pfos in one batch for example. But I would say most firms do this in batches
