TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
Ye so I told them I have a deadline of next week. They initially wanted to get back to me end of August after they've reviewed the direct TC applications (I did a VS). But I'm concerned that if I force them to make a quick decision, they may err on the side of caution (or risk if my self-esteem...- philjones

TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
Hi guys, bit of advice needed. I've received a TC offer with a deadline of Tuesday the 10th. Another firm told me they'll get back to me in a few weeks. Is it standard practice to request an extension to the TC acceptance deadline or do firms hate it and it will reflect badly on me? Thanks a lot!- philjones

Hi! How did you find the presentation + interview last year? Could you read from notes? Was the interview focussed on the presentation or just general competency/commercial awareness Q's? Thanks a lot!- philjones

Advice Needed! On TC applications, should I mention that I've secured 2 VS at other firms? Will this impress them or will it sound like I'm not fully committed to that firm? Any advice is appreciated!- philjones

Do most firms establish a mark you need to get, or just select the top x amount of scores? What sort of score do we need to get to succeed? Thanks!- philjones

LPC or SQE?
True. But novelty of SQE isn't simply as being am alternative to LPC- it means you don't need a TC. If someone takes the LPC then struggles to find a TC- and remember that as time goes on, firms will be offering fewer and fewer Tcs- the only way to qualify will be to do take the SQE path. Only...- philjones
