    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Congrats on your GDL results! Its been a damn tough year of remote learning and lockdowns so its amazing you have achieved so much in a tough time. I doubt this will cause any issues. I got a couple of surprise mid-high 50's, as did my friends. My GDL results were never brought up in my TC/VS...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I'm so sorry, it's such a tough process. Treat yourself, take a break and try not to be hard on yourself. The fact you secured a vacation scheme is testament that you a strong candidate and in itself such an achievement!

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I've known this news for a while now, but I've now been given permission to share it. Guys, I got the call. I've been offered a Training Contract with TLT! I remember turning up to my first AC wearing £5 ASDA pumps that I'd had to superglue the night before as I couldn't afford to buy a new...

    Hi all. Sorry I haven't been on here much as I have just started a new job so things are a bit hectic! I was wondering if anyone has heard from Penningtons post-AC (London office)?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Has anyone else had confirmation of vacation scheme dates with TLT? I have just started a new job and I am worried about booking annual leave. I have emailed TLT a couple of times (late last week and early today) and have had no response. I am a bit concerned as one of the proposed dates was...

    Sorry I have just seen this (I have started a new job so I've not been able to check on here as much!). My biggest advice would be to think about how you structure your response. I definitely felt like I was a bit too focused in trying to show off my commercial awareness/analysis and got...

    Just got a call with a post-case study rejection from Mishcon. Genuinely gutted to have not got to the interview stage. Hopefully others got some better news!

    Congrats on getting an interview! I secured a vacation scheme with them last year and really enjoyed the interview. I recommend that you review your own experience, and think of examples you can apply to competency based questions. I found in my interview that I was asked the same competency...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Last year I received an interview invite with them around mid-February. But I wouldn't be surprised if things were a bit delayed this year. Hopefully you'll hear back soon!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I was in exactly in the same situation - you're certainly not alone :) Thank you for being so open. Your tenacity is inspiring. I applied for about 13 firms last cycle whilst doing the GDL. I received 3 ACs invites (I was on the reserve list for one vacation scheme, accepted another and I...

    I have an AC with TLT which consists of a group assessment. I've not done a group assessment in ages, I'm sorry if this may have already been asked, but does anyone have any advice?

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Don't lose hope! I did an AC with Penningtons on the 27th January and was told it was the first AC. They later sent an email out to us saying that they would get back to us by the end of Feb, so it seems they are doing more AC's before giving offers out. As for Boodle Hatfield I secured a...

    Once for an interview I meant to say that I enjoyed cooking - But I ended up just saying "I really enjoy eating in my spare time" because I was nervous!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I had an AC with Penningtons last week, which I was told was their first AC for the London office. I just received an email saying "we will aim to come back to you with an outcome by the end of this month (February 2021)." Don't assume its a PFO! It seems they are waiting to do more AC's before...
