    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I asked them at an event and they said they open up direct TC appos because their vac scheme is unusually long (3 weeks) and they understand not everyone can afford to take that time out of work.

    I'm surprised as well, but I appreciate that they seem to be sending out invites for ACs and rejections together. Hate it when firms make you wait 6 years to find out you've been rejected.n

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I'm surprised they don't do at least a small feedback note for the WG. Considering this is their only step before an AC, in my experience, other firms do give some sort of feedback at this stage, even if generic...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Too early to know if I've progressed to the AC for FF post WG yet but how is everyone prepping? Their AC is a bit different than others' with only the proofreading exercise and 2 interviews. No group excercises of presentations etc. Particularly the analytical interview - I was at their grad...

    Just completed the FF WG - I didn't get an email saying I completed it though? Is that normal?

    is the freshfields WG a standard one? Does normal prep as for a normal WG suffice? or is it a special version of the WG?

    does grad rec look at your insight/open day applications when you apply to a vac scheme/TC then? or do they judge us on the day? from memory, the grad rec manager never even spoke to most people (me included) and we mostly networked with trainees

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    yeah definitely From the events and networking it seemed they were a pretty open-minded firm (many non-Oxbridge non-1st class grads) so for an American firm they seemed pretty open to anyone to apply. Oh well, may try again next year :')

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    the events were around 45-50 people, so quite limited and selective - the open day was around 100 from memory so maybe that was more 'everyone who applies gets in'
