    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I studied and did a full-time job with the SQE 1 and it was brutal especially if you are starting in September and planning to sit in January. The months will fly away in a blink of an eye. It's not about the subjects but the way you need to study for it, in the sense of practice questions...

    I saw from last year's thread that they sent out AC invites in September first week, with the AC being held the following week. But I couldn't find any information about TC offers after that. Hope this helps!

    Are there any specific resources that you use for practicing Video Interviews? In my last cycle I usually got rejected after the VI, since I do better in in-person interviews

As someone on a visa, I have a limited window to find a new role, and it’s been weighing heavily on me. Every time I open LinkedIn, I see my peers getting promoted, receiving new offers, or...

    I was in the same situation about two to three weeks ago, but I realised that I just need to keep pushing and we will succeed! The TC cycle is very competitive, but it isn't impossible. Just take the week off and do some self-care, have your favourite food today, and just relax today. That's...
