    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Apologies because I am sure this has been asked before, but when a firm asks which other firms you are applying to and why, is it common practice to be as vague as possible and just say, e.g., "global firms with small trainee intakes and a focus on fintech" or to mention names? My work...

    I would imagine there is a yes/no box and then you have to say which subject/exam you had to resit and whether you passed. But I don't think that is the place to include mitigating circumstances

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    If applications are reviewed on a rolling basis it isn’t unreasonable to think that sending an early application for a scheme (even if months in advance) means that there will be a quicker turnaround for responses. I understand what you mean but your answer came off as pretty disrespectful and...

    Goodwin open day invite, is it online for everyone? They originally said that they would invite unsuccessful candidates to participate online, but the email says i've been successful and that they've made the "difficult decision" to move it online. Basically I want to know whether they're lying...

    At the Bird&Bird open day there were quite a few career changers among the trainees and associates who were at least in their 30s when they got a TC. I know you're only considering US firms but maybe worth bearing in mind! x

    That seem pretty unfair considering how notoriously unreliable AI detecting tools are :/

    I completely agree, plus me filling out the survey would corrupt the process, but I wonder whether it not being legitimate for them to penalise me would stop them :/
