    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I had my interview on 24th September and they were still holding ACs on that day for the direct tc so I reckon it'll be a while till we hear back anyway. I've spoken to others on my AC and no one's had any rejections so far from the partner interview.

    Yep it is mostly competency and motivational questions. But a friend of mine who did the TI last year said she got a question that asked her to mention a recent deal the firm was involved in and why it interested her

    They'll let you know by the end of the day. I just called them too and they're just finalising some last bits.

    They got back to him 3 weeks later from what I recall but it can be different this year and I'm sure it depends on other circumstances too.

    They always say it'll be around a week till you hear back but it often takes longer. My friend who applied for their direct TC last year only got his offer in December and so did a majority of the people who were on his AC. Try not to worry!

    Memos are usually for partners/ associates or a supervisor. Letters or emails are for clients. You will usually be told what needs to be included. For instance you might be told that the partner needs a summary of key issues raised in the materials provided and any next steps that you have...

    I just saw a few people who did the summer vac scheme get TCs so I think they'll start holding ACs for the direct TC once they've given out all the offers from the vac scheme.

    I'm not entirely sure if its the same for those who've had ACs sorry. I assumed it meant that they've given out all the ACs since they filled out all the spots for that. Maybe reach out to grad rec?

    Yeah it really sucks but their direct TC was a bit of a mess this year. I received no response for months until today and they just sent a generic email when they'd actually just filled up spaces

    Mine updated on the 27th of July and it took them like 3-4 days to send me the WG. There's still hope
