    Yeah, I did. They probably will do what most firms are doing and send out invites in batches so likely isn't automatic.

    Can I firstly just say this was worded so eloquently! It is so important for stories like yours to be shared because there are so many misconceptions about DEI and its purpose. So thank you again Chris

    I completely agree that perhaps the firm's you had been applying to maybe weren't the right fit for you but also it's important to bear in mind how much of a luck game this whole thing is. I feel like surely they can't rule you out, if anything it shows how committed you are to them ahaha...

    I have a friend who qualified last year at Macfarlanes. Though she had secured the TC via VS in her second year, she was one of the youngest in her cohort. The majority of trainees were graduates who had been working for a couple of years prior to the TC. Of course, this is not the case for all...

    Hi @Jessica Booker When applying for Direct TC's, do you think it is worth mentioning that I have an upcoming VS with a different firm? Thank you in advance
