    Yeah I imagine it’s also because a lot of Easter vac schemes were postponed. Usually more people probably reject the VI because they’ve accepted a TC from another firm from Easter vac schemes.

    Got a rejection email from Macfarlanes TC literally 2 minutes ago- so I guess they’re starting to look!

    I don’t think so- I was one of the first to get a VI in late March and I haven’t heard anything. The email said we’d hear back ‘no later than May 4th’ so presumably we’ll hear back then.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, A while ago I was unable to accept a vac scheme offer for this summer due to accepting other vac schemes offers that clash. The firm allowed me to be considered for a training contract instead. Now the vac schemes I have accepted have been rearranged/ gone virtual I have more free...

    19/20 Post App/AC... What next?

    I initially applied to the vac scheme in late December but later requested to change to TC. Got WG late feb and VI last week. They did say all candidates will find out if they’re successful on VI by May 4th so presumably you’ll hear back before then!

    Demise of the Magic Circle?

    I would say if you have a TC with a magic circle firm you should definitely take it. MC firms still have better training and excellent pay (even if it is slightly less than at US firms but after taxes the difference isn’t huge). If there really is a significant decline in MC market share due to...

    I was in a similar situation but with 3 VS instead of 4. I just emailed the firm I didn’t want to accept and said I had accepted other vac schemes that clashed with the dates of their vac scheme but that I’m still interested in the firm and asked if I could be considered for a TC instead. They...
