    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    This by no means constitutes advice and is from someone who doesn't have a clue about the recruitment process, however, I do have thoughts on this... I've always thought it's a bit odd that they ask for SQE/PGDL scores on applications when a significant number of contracts will be given to...

    Yeah, it's automatic, but this is the first set of invites that have been sent for DTC I believe. I think people are just excited that things are moving. DTC always feels so slow compared to SV🥱

    My WG test score was pretty negative but don’t think that’s what they mean 😂

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Hi all, Apologies in advance, I know there must be a better thread for this, and I'm also pretty sure I've seen this asked before but I can't seem to find the answer! I'm posting here because I know the thread gets a decent amount of traffic. I am preparing for an AC coming up at the end if...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Hmm, I think I’m going to avoid asking. I did that with LL and it just depressed me 😂. Think I’ll just wait for the PFO and deal with it all in one go!

    Just did HL WG. Sometimes I feel like I’ve nailed them and sometimes I don’t have a clue (today is the later). I’m so inconsistent. I hope I’ve passed because HL is in my top 3 for sure.

    Man that’s rough, I thought I was bad with 2! At least I get to sit HL’s WG over the weekend 🤣🙄

    Freshfields PFO and white and case PFO in the same hour! What a day! All I need now is Goodwin…

    Yeah, same. And for once a reasonable deadline for a VI!

    I’ve still not even received the WG invite for them (applied in November). I emailed them to check and they confirmed I would be receiving… just no idea when! Annoying because they’re one of my top choices!

    I think I got the same strengths as you (definitely collaboration and communicator), my weakness was judgement. I’m still waiting for my PFO, or at least it doesn’t appear I was in the first batch.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Is this the SJT that has a mix of VI, numerical, verbal as well? If so I did Reed Smith one and it was a b*tch (sorry). I’ve only noticed it be called amberjack the last few days though. I also got PFO’d after it so not sure how useful my input would be!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I’d say do it. There aren’t that many that are still open anyway so might as well give it a shot. I’m a career changer too and I’ve got an AC for a DTC coming up and am waiting to hear back after VI for multiple others.

    Congrats on the AC, mind if I ask when you completed your VI? I literally just came on to ask what the usual turnaround time is and saw you’d posted!

    lol, literally just came on to check if anyone had heard from Goodwin 😂

    Still nothing from Goodwin! Dare I say I'm (kind of) hopeful post VI too so I'm gagging to hear from them!

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I've literally just done it and there was nothing about it being recorded. My camera light was defo not on either. I know the format was same as LL but did anyone else find this soooo repetitive?! I swear it just kept asking different variations of the same questions. Also, (and I know I...
