[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 207161, member: 36777"] In my experience when the caliber of candidates is very high, some firms have a tendency to give more TC offers in the spring. As Jessica said, firms will never offer all the TCs in the spring, but I know firms which made a number of offers of representing around 60-75% of the available TC spaces. There's a number of reasons for that, including the fact that some people with competing offers might not accept (and thus the firm needs to 'overshoot' its hiring target); and the firm's consciousness of the fact that some of the best candidates who accepted a summer VS might not end up attending because they sign TC offer following a spring scheme at a rival. It is also the case that if the firm really likes one batch of candidates, in the spring there are simply more spaces open so the firm can decide to be more flexible. In the summer, since only a set number of TCs will be available in view of the spring offers, it will be more difficult for the firm to make more offers as that would require changing the overall recruitment target. That said, there will be many firms to which this does not apply, and there are also reasons why you might choose the summer VS, such as the increased preparation time or the extra time you might have to impress people in the firm. My advice would be to not overthink your decision and simply go with your instinct or with what suits your schedule best. [/QUOTE]
