I would apply for open days when they are ahead of the firm's deadlines for either VS or TCs where you can, and particularly where you may not be eligible for the firm's vacation scheme. Where you can apply directly for VS, then go for it, but open days can be a great way to interact with the firm before finalising an application, and it can really help to get your foot in the door (if you impress on the open day, the firm will be waiting for your application).


It might be worthwhile referencing the need to step away from law. You could either present this in an "any additional information" section or within your work experience entry for your family business you could reference at the start or end of the entry something along the lines of "Stepped away from legal roles to take up this opportunity due to the financial benefits of the pay associated with the role".
