    I applied the day before the deadline, got the test invite within 1 working day, completed the test on Tuesday and waiting to hear back. They did have an AC yesterday so there may be a delay in getting back

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I'm not sure how it would work for small firms but in my experience (previous application cycle) I don't see anything wrong with that. I did it for a large American firm and it was clear trainees knew how much information they were allowed to divulge to keep the process fair. As long as you...
