TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[Amgrad]

did my sidley interview yesterday, if anyone needs advice pls reach out

Definitely! I applied yesterday for their spring vacation scheme, I'd let you know if I progressed to interview with them.

Do Sidley always send confirmation twice after we we hit the submit button?
I saw manual reply with a CC to the email of the career team, an hour after the automatic message/auto reply email.

Has anyone received any open day invite for Latham for the October one. Applied for the November one so just want to get a sense of when to expect a response post second stage assessment.

The past years it has been 6 long questions. All 'what would you do in this situation' type questions.

when filling in the work experience section, do people add their uni stuff like treasurer for tennis club etc?

Hello!

It's up to you, but I always used to include my committee positions in university societies in my work experience section! As long as you can discuss your role, main responsibilities, and the transferable skills that it taught, I'd say its a great addition to the section!

Has anyone done the A&O video online assessment part? I just wondered what the process is like - i.e. if you get given X seconds to prepare for the video and one attempt. Thanks!

One attempt to record but unlimited planning time - personally really enjoyed the process over and above CappFin/Arctic
