Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 208466" data-attributes="member: 2672">I personally don't see the value in doing vacation schemes if there is no chance in you considering training with the firm. I think exploring what you might enjoy as a trainee can be done in far more productive (and realistic) ways than a vacation scheme too. You have 2-3 years to also work this out rather than needing that information now.I'd argue you are restricting someone from doing the vacation scheme as the firm can backfill the opportunity with someone else if you were to renege on the offer. This is why many firms run waiting lists or get back in contact with candidates that were close to getting offers.However, it is ultimately your choice and no one else's business what you choose to do. It is only their opinion on the matter based on their experiences. My opinion is based on the frustrations of being on the other end of this. I feel like mine and my colleagues' time has been wasted when this has happened to me in the past. A lot of effort goes into running vacation schemes and it just seems a shame for all the effort with no chance of any return.There are enough people who choose to continue with vacation schemes for a range of reasons - sometimes its financial, sometimes its just to be 100% sure they are making the right decision, sometimes its for reasons like yours. So it wouldn't be that you are the only one doing this.</blockquote>
