I would ask the second firm whether you could move to the summer scheme, explaining you are committed to another firm for the first two days of their Spring scheme.Hi everyone, looking for some advice. I'm currently in a very fortunate position where I have just received 2 vacation schemes offers on the same day but they unfortunately overlap slightly. The first offer is with my dream firm and I immediately accepted it, the second offer came a few hours later from a different firm that I am also really interested in. The second VS overlaps with the first one by 2 days - the initial 2 days of the second VS which overlap with the 1st VS are meant to be online induction days. I would love to be able to attend both - does anybody have any experience with a similar situation? Is it okay to ask a firm if you could delay their VS because you have already accepted another VS (both of these are Spring VS and both firms are also holding Summer schemes)? @Jessica Booker do you have any advice regarding this?
You do have to be prepared that you may have to turn down the offer though. This is very common and one of the downsides of securing multiple schemes.
The firm might be able to move you to summer with no problem though. It really depends on their views on this, which you will only understand if you talk to them directly about this.
