Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are people’s thoughts on accepting an Easter Vac Scheme if you have accepted another in summer? If you accept a TC from the first one, are you still able to complete the summer one and potentially change your mind? Thanks!

You can’t sign a contract and then do a vac scheme elsewhere. I know some people who have asked the tc they got at Easter to give them an extension to make the decision but not all firms say yes

I am going to have an assessment centre in Bristol office by the end of April and I wonder if you can give me some tips and advices on what to expect, the kind of questions and what do you feel that made you stood out to the firm and how to stand out? Anything appreciated @arfrometa1 ! Thank you in advance!

    I did my VI 12th December😭, they confirmed 6th March that they are still going through VIs and will get back to us in next few weeks😩
    Very strange, I did mine on the 12th of January and they got back to me with a PFO on 15th of Feb. It was a month turnaround for me. Maybe it's a good sign and you are being considered?

    I do know of one person who has gotten the VS at Mishcon and others who have received PFOs. Maybe the silence means you are borderline and still being considered?
    oh okay thanks that's interesting to hear!! It's felt like radio silence for me and I know there's a lot of us still waiting on here so hopefully they get back with an outcome soon
