[QUOTE="wqueens8, post: 231773, member: 35581"] How do people navigate having further vac schemes in a year, if they receive offers earlier? To be fair, I am not yet in this position and I may not be succeessful with any, but it is a possibility. I've secured two direct TC ACs in January, and a vac scheme in April. I like all the firms, would love to have the chance to experience the April firm to be able to make an informed decision, I just wish it wasn't so much later. There's a few considerations. 1) I believe April firm publicises their vac schemes, i.e there may be a photo of me on linkedin. If Jan firms see this after I've accepted one their TCs, they might be in their rights to rescind. 2) I'm not from London. The April firm pays london living wage, but no extra support for accomodation or anything. For a 2 week scheme, I will 100% be losing money on accom + trains + food/drink + entertainment etc, probably a few hundred pounds. Plus I need to take two weeks off work for it. A lot of money to lose when I (in this scenario) already have a good TC from a firm I like, and the scheme may not even convert to a TC. 3) I am final year. My dissertation is due 1st of May, and I have exams in may too. This scheme is 13th to 24th April, which are quite key weeks. I am obviously getting way ahead of myself, and ultimately suppose it is really up to me and how much I want to train at each firm and how ready my dissertation is by then etc. Just wondering if anyone has found themselves in a similar situation, and how you navigated it.
