    Out of curiosity - how do the ME TC's work, do you sit the SQE and qualify in England & Wales and then relocate when commencing the TC? Does the firm assist with relocating etc

    @Jessica Booker Hi Jess, I have seen that BDB Pitmans open their direct TC's in April and they close in early July 2024, does the firm recruit primarily through VS or would you describe the direct intake as healthy also? Thank you!

    Not sure if there is much you can do apart from wait and see as they likely will not share any information until they have assessed all candidates. I rushed to book a holiday for June only to then see that one of my top choices AC was on the day after I go, had to bite the bullet unfortunately
