[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 199473, member: 36738"] Heya [USER=38248]@TCseeker17[/USER] I'm sure that the very wise [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] would have much more to say here, but I wanted to chime in about my experience. I think this will ultimately depend on the firm, but in general, I've found that where firms host two vacation schemes over the summer, they generally wait until both schemes have finished before making final training contract decisions. This was certainly the case at Cooley, but also at several other firms that I'd received offers from. I think choosing the later scheme shouldn’t put you at a disadvantage in most cases. The only time timing might make a difference is if a firm runs a winter or spring scheme followed by summer schemes, as some offers may already have been made by the time the later schemes take place. That said, even in these cases, firms usually reserve enough spaces for strong candidates across all schemes. If you’re concerned, it’s worth checking whether the firm has a history of making offers after each scheme or if they assess all candidates together at the end. But overall, I'd suggest focus on performing well during your scheme and choosing a period that's really convenient for you. [/QUOTE]
