[QUOTE="OliverTwist, post: 204767, member: 31113"] [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER], I accepted a role with a consulting firm on Tuesday, which is a step up from what I am currently doing. In my current role, I could technically do vacation schemes as most of my work was conducted from the US, and I don't think anyone would necessarily find out. However, I am aware that this next firm will be a lot more stringent and probably have work cross-over with a lot of the firms I am looking at. The problem is, whilst a lot of my applications this cycle are for direct training contracts and are still in the running, I have about six that are for summer vacation schemes for which I am at different stages (one waiting back to here from post-AC). I had applied to vacation schemes with these select firms as for all but one, it is the only way to secure a TC with them; however, for the last one, they do have a direct TC route. What would you say would be the best course of action to take? I almost feel like it's a bit cheeky to ask if there is a direct TC route with the five that do not have one, and I suspect the answer will be no before I have even asked. Even with the sixth, I know that they have different criteria and often deem it unfair on other candidates to switch someone from the VS to TC application partway through the process. [/QUOTE]
