    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hey, let me just say that I completely understand your frustrations all too well. I graduated in 2017 and have been applying for training contracts since then. I managed to secure a paralegal role at a boutique firm which I think has been quite helpful so I would recommend maybe expanding the...

    I received the PFO this afternoon as well. I never asked for my WG scores though. But just keep in mind that they assess your WG results alongside your application and make a decision on both. So its very possible to score highly in one respect and not necessarily the other. I understand its...

    Hi all. I have an upcoming verbal case study and was wondering if there are any sample private equity case study or other useful resources (outside of the M&A focused material) that I could use to prepare for this

    @IsaacDundas I can confirm that they have 7 set questions (I was asked a follow-up to one but my interviewer made it clear that this was a detour).

    I don't believe so, but I know that after you complete the test they review your answers alongside your application.

    I have just received my telephone interview invite from Fieldfisher. It says it will cover "competency, technical and motivational questions". Does anyone have any idea of what the technical questions may cover? Would appreciate any guidance on this.

    It should be fine to reference things from 2019. I referenced some extra curricular activities I did in 2018 and made it through to the next round. I will mention that some of the activities started before 2018 but continued onwards. However, within those I highlighted achievements from 2018. So...
