TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
2-3 weeks puts you out in front of a majority of applicants, absolutely in the running. Common rule of thumb is to, if possible, apply in the first 2/3 of the application period but it's not strictly necessary. Only firms where I really worry about getting in ASAP are those which will fill up...- Rob93

Heard nothing, doesn't look like any PFOs have gone out yet - wondering if they'll take the approach of going through their entire recruitment process then doing a mass rejection late Feb. That said they only closed 2 weeks ago and doubtless have a huge number of apps to sift through so I...- Rob93

Generally if they never sell and there are no dividends then they will make no money off the shares themselves. One thing people will do, though, is take shares that have good growth, hold them, and borrow against the value of those shares at wildly low interest (borrowing more as the value...- Rob93

I'm not sure if 'more complex' is right, especially in terms of DD, but in terms of ownership transfer, share purchase is obviously just the shares of the company - asset purchases you have to deal with the individual assets, if there's real estate involved this can become quite a substantial...- Rob93

Two main reasons - one is that it flattens out the ways in which they perceive themselves as different from one another. The other is that it has a certain smack of Englishness, and with the arguable exception of Slaughters they're quite keen to cast themselves as part of the so-called 'global...- Rob93
