    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I don't think the QS university rankings are considered relevant in the UK. They are very key for example for applicants from foreign countries seeking scholarships where there is a requirement for "top 100 worldwide" or whatever. However, I would avoid citing them in the UK. They are...

    The question said "we'd like to give bonuses if it doesn't cost more than 0.5% of revenue". subsequently, you need to calculate the cost of bonuses. For example if the cost was 5% of revenue, then the answer that read "we can't give bonuses, as it would cost 5% of revenue" is correct. the...

    I received a PFO from Irwin Mitchell saying I didn't complete the blended assessment within 7 days, so PFO. I'm not really sure whether this is accurate. I remember doing it in early December, badly. Maybe I did finish it maybe not. Their system shows "completed" but with a disclaimer saying...

    I applied last year for VS and was progressed to VI. This year I applied without noticing the policy and got a fairly swift "you are not eligible" PFO. So i think it's a brand new policy for this year.

    Thanks. Not too pricey! I looked at a video yesterday and they were saying entry-level webcam is Insta360 2C (£130!) Honestly I'm partly wondering about doing it on my phone; only problem is my phone also sucks, so maybe I need to buy a new phone (had it for almost 3 years now, Redmi)!!!

    I was musing on this last night. I was watching a youtube streamer, who has about 1500 videos each about 30-120 minutes, and in his more recent videos (compared to the earliest) he has a nice desk microphone, a better camera, and his introduction style sounds more fluent and confident. I...

    Why doesn't it make sense? You can email them or do a Subject Access Request, but the latter can be a bit OTT perhaps?

    I believe it's RWK Goodman. Reasons: 1. I previously received an email from them which read "Thank you for registering with the A Law Firm LLP Online Application. To log into your application at any time, visit https://ALawFirm.grad.allhires.com/ and enter your credentials. From here you can...

    I applied to their Open Day and got knocked back in favour of the virtual one instead. I got and failed the VI also. My impression is that by having large numbers of (not really) Open Day attendees and VI invitees they maximise engagement with their firm even though they're not necessarily...
