    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    From what I’ve seen from last year with regards to RS, they sent out invites in stages, and some people got “holding” emails. don’t lose hope if you haven’t got a firm PFO - no news is good news! 🥰

    You have posted this so many times 😂 I can’t advise on gateley but Shoosmiths is an SJT and WG. you can do WG prep online for free. SJT you really need to be yourself. Don’t try and give answers you think the firm wants. Be honest and consistent in your answers.

    Anyway....moving swiftly on.... So RS's "you will hear by the 10th" really means "we'll tell you on the 10th" There's just a pit of existential dread and anxiety waiting to hear back from 6+ firms

    Expecting a DWF PFO shortly. Feel like I completely bombed that VI and the last question wouldnt upload. I was stuck on the "please wait while your answer uploads" screen for an eternity
