    PFO post VI for Bakers as well. :') Does anyone know if you're allowed to apply for their direct TC after a failed VS application? Also, would it be bad to use the same application since it passed the first time around - because I'm honestly not too sure what I can further change about it since...

    About Bakers, I did my VI on the 10th and have not heard back either. But the e-mail they sent for the VI said "candidates will find out whether their application has been successful by no later than the end of February 2021." So I'm guessing we'll hear something today or tomorrow, fingers...

    I have a random question... would it be good to connect on LinkedIn with the partners who interviewed you, after a VS offer? Though, it's been some time since the AC.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Ahahaha no both are from this year. I applied for two programmes: the first screenshot is from my application to the Spring VS and the second one is from my application to the Singapore-London TC. They're both in the same portal and I think I distinctly remember the "Candidate Review" for my...

    Can anyone confirm: If there is a tick beside "candidate review" on the Linklaters portal, does it mean you passed the tests and the application?

    Hi Jacob, first of all, thank you for this really helpful guide! I just wanted to clarify a few points: 1) In a written case study, let's say about 45 mins, how many points should you pick out? Should you stick to the ones specifically related to the client's demands (so in this case the 4...
