Before accepting any offer, try to find out whether the role is paid hourly or comes with overtime, as this can make a significant difference to your total pay. Some firms offer fixed salaries with no overtime, even if you're expected to work extra hours. Others do pay overtime, which can...- Amma Usman

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
You’re such a positive force @ssszzg , and this is so true! It would be very rare for a candidate to precisely nail all questions. Think of it this way, and from a very simplistic and logical perspective - there are certain things any given individual prefers to talk about, than others. This is...- Amma Usman

Hi there, I’m unsure about this, but I do know that generally, prep time is limited. I have only ever heard of one firm, SH, that has unlimited prep time. However, in any case, feel free to email the recruitment team to confirm this.- Amma Usman

If a firm wouldn’t recruit many people via that route/ or even one person at all, the portal will close and a notice will be sent out to applicants letting them know. The way I also like to see...- Amma Usman

What was the wording included in the email which was sent with the test? In any case, I usually submit these tests a day earlier just to be safe.
