TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Putting this out here because this ill mannered person needs to be called out. I feel sorry for you and how rude you are.
Best of luck getting a tc and working in a firm and talking to clients this way.
I just said 1 thing why trying to get involved and making it worse for others just end it here. You are basically drawing more attention to the situation.

I understand your frustration, but Jaysen said not to do this exact thing. Just report the post then the admins with deal with it accordingly.
 
Bakers PFO post VI. That’s 10/10 apps rejected now, I honestly give up 🫩
Stupid suggestion incoming but have you tried applying to regional offices/regional law firms?

They're a lot easier to get to AC stage from personal experience - I've been rejected from the larger firms but the regional ones come through.

Everyone applies to the high-paying Magic Circle/US firms but there are a lot of regional offices out there.

Tbh no as I really want to work in competition and hopefully be seconded to Brussels. So regional firms have not been on my mind.
