    Looking for advice: I've got a place on a summer vac scheme at a firm this summer. However, not sure if I will get a TC out of it. What is the best way to articulate to firms that recurit direct TCs that you have secured a spot to show your value in the market?

    Just submitted FF TC 2025 app. However no confirmation email, and when I go back to check submission, a few parts are just outright missing. Example: undergraduate grades, mitigating circumstances, and the personal statement upload. Anyone have insight on this?
