    Thanks, Jessica! I wanted to clarify - so I shouldn't mention that I have a TC with the firm? The recruiter invited me to interview knowing I had a TC.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

Do you have any advice on things to prepare, not really sure how intense this process will be or what I am supposed to demonstrate. Of course I would speak to how this will assist...

    hate to sound like a broken record, but has anyone heard from Baker McKenzie post VI for summer vs. The email they sent me for the VI said we should hear by the end of Feb, with ACs schedule for march 2, 4, 10, 12, 16 (I think).

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    If you don't mind me asking, did you have previous vacation schemes (before this cycle), and if so, how many? I do genuinely feel as though some rejections are very arbitrary. For firms on a rolling basis, I think (from my experience) they reject once they realize they can get the right...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    So I have one vac scheme, and I am at various stages with other VS'. Unfortunately, all of them overlap and naturally the anxiety of only having 1 VS is killing me. What do we think about continuing the process in the hopes that I secure more VS', and things are still virtual, and therefore...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hi All, I just got offered the summer VS with JD (!!!), although I preferred Spring. In fact, I chose to interview earlier and took a last minute slot after someone cancelled in order to ensure that I had a better shot at the Spring VS. I'm a bit concerned because other firms I have applied...
