    Also curious if anyone has heard back from A&O for a vac scheme yet, after passing SJT?

    Did anyone else get an error email from V&E telling them they were rejected for a TC application? I applied for their Summer Vacation Scheme in January and I was rejected at video interview stage- I didn't apply for a direct TC because you obviously have to wait until the next cycle. I just got...

    I agree with all this- I think what I meant to say was that there's definitely no harm in applying if someone is really dead set on applying, but it's not clear what criteria they're using for even considering non-penultimate apps nor is it clear how many places will be given to penultimates. I...

    This statement could apply to any firm, though. Many firms recruit predominantly from vacation schemes and yet people still apply, especially if they're set on the firm and they're confident in their abilities to succeed on a Training Contract. People still get hired, even if they haven't gone...

    Anyone know roughly what Hogan Lovells' turnaround time is for direct TCs? I did the WG just over a week ago, do they normally take a few weeks or so to reply? I'm aware they have approximately 4000 applications a year, so it's not surprising. Thank you!

    Anyone heard back from Hogan Lovells for direct TC (post-Watson Glaser) and/or know roughly what the turnaround is? Thank you!

    I believe they've taken an assortment of other cost-cutting measures such as slashing NQ salaries (although I'm not sure if this is temporary), and as you point out, they've scrapped the vacation schemes. I'd be interested to know if the decision has any rationales beyond cost-cutting. It might...

    I'd be interested in knowing how they'd make this decision consistent with a key objective of any modern recruitment process, which is to be diverse and inclusive. Doesn't that involve recruiting candidates from a range of backgrounds and experiences? I'm guessing they've made the process more...

    Does Hogan Lovells automatically invite everyone to the Watson Glaser or do they filter out applicants beforehand? Thank you!

    I've been using this list here: https://www.lawcareers.net/Solicitors/TrainingContractDeadlines I believe Paul Hastings recruit only from direct TCs, not sure how it works with the others!

    Would anyone happen to know when vac scheme applications will start reopening for Winter 2020/2021? I'm aware it's usually around August/September time but any specific guesses based on last year would be really helpful- thank you!
