Looking back on previous threads and other peoples experiences at the placement, it seems that there is a few others doing it at the same time as you.

Yes, I chose to work in halfterm instead of summer time and it also seems like nobody overlaps the location.

Congratulations to those of you who got a place on one of the weeks. I'm currently on the Gap Year Programme that Pinsent Masons run based in their London office and am happy to answer any questions you might have about the Work Experience, Gap Year Programme or Pinsent Masons in general :smile:

If you mean abroad, then it's pretty unlikely - none of us 3 in London have and I don't know any trainees who have other than those which go on secondment. Although last year I think a couple of the gap year students got to go to Munich with the firm.

If you mean domestically, then yes I've personally had to go to loads of different places in London and also outside of London. I've had to even work in a client office for a couple of weeks while on the programme which was really good fun.

Either way, you get paid well and so everyone I know on the programme are going travelling once they finish their 8/9 months - I'm doing China/Kuala Lumpar/Singapore/Dubai for a few weeks.
