[TCseeker17]

hey guys - when a firm is running two separate vacation scheme dates - ie a June and July scheme - would picking the later one affect my chances of securing the TC in anyway?

If anyone's done an OC virtual AC before, I'd love to know any advice you have. Is the research/presentation part based on a broad commercial topic?

Hogan Lovells PFO. Applied for their VS in January and didn’t have to do the WG because I was on their first year scheme

I would honestly love some insight because I don’t know where I went wrong. I also applied for their Lift Off programme this year and got rejected. I got my application checked twice from a trainee so I really don’t know what to say and it is upsetting because they don’t even give feedback. I assumed I would make it to their AC at least…

Alas, rejections are inevitable I suppose

Does anyone have insight into the Addleshaw Goddard AC? Am happy to provide insight into ACs for Hogan Lovells, Eversheds Sutherland, Travers Smith, Slaughter and May, TLT, and Freshfields as well as VIs for around 10 other firms!
