Hi all, I am looking for some advice on vacation schemes. I’ve received two VS offers:
My question is: If I do Firm A’s spring scheme and (hopefully) get a TC offer from them, would it be acceptable to still do Firm B’s summer scheme? Or is that generally contractually restricted? Could I perhaps ask for more time before accepting Firm A's offer?
I’m aware it might sound silly not to just accept a TC offer if I get one, but I’d really like to keep my options open if possible — while also not risking ending up with no offer at all. Has anyone been in a similar position, or knows what the usual practice is with US law firms in London?
Thanks so much!
- Firm A: only runs a spring vacation scheme
- Firm B: offered me a summer vacation scheme (even though I said my preference was spring)
