[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 202857, member: 2672"] Regional firms have had decades of people applying to them as they think the roles are less competitive than those in London. They have also had too many candidates over the years try to game the system by getting a regional VS (or even TC) and then try to negotiate a TC/NQ role in London. This undermines the whole purpose of trying to bring talent into that office, and so many firms will try to weed out people they think who are doing this. Firms use vacation schemes as a talent pipeline for training contracts, and so they will be looking for people are are likely to want to live and work in the area. People with no connection to the area or who have never lived there are far less likely to settle in to life in the area than those who are connected. So many firms will tend to favour those with connections to the area - it is why many regional firms with multiple offices specifically ask questions about why you are applying to that location.
