Hi!

Does anyone know/have a handy list (roughly) of firms that recruit directly through TC applications or those that prefer to recruit directly via TC?

What email address do you use if you want to know how you scored on the WG for Hogan Lovells? I saw someone mention it on another thread (I think) but can't find the information now.

I rang up grad recruitment and they gave me my score straight away and were very friendly

Has anyone heard back from A&O 2022 TC?

Applied September 17th after they re-opened the 2022 TC's, passed the test on the 19th and was rejected on 25th. Hope you get some better news

Hey, has anyone heard back from W&C after VI for direct TC? How long after the VI did you get the outcome? Thanks!

This question has been asked so often over the last few weeks that I actually might just make the list myself when I have some spare time (if it doesn't exist already)

Here it is!

What's the general consensus on name-dropping? For example, if I spoke to a particular partner, who hosted a presentation evening, is it worth mentioning their name?

That's @Jessica Booker's view on it, which is a pretty good guide to go by.

there are some post about it here. Really depends on the context. If you are just name dropping for the sake of it though, it’s generally awful
