    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    So BM said ‘Candidates will find out whether their application has been successful by no later than 16 May 2023‘, I might be overthinking but does that mean…if you’ve got an AC place, you’d have been told already or find out today/tomorrow, but if you failed, you’d find out later than tomorrow...

    I can’t tell if the lot that got their AC invites are the ones that interviewed most recently as well… I’m surprised they don’t go chronologically from the people who’ve been waiting the longest?

    It’s from when you received the email - so 7 days from the receiving moment, I don’t think the bank holiday would add a day or anything. Best of luck!

    Hello - has anyone progressed past their Watson Glaser to do the video interview for Baker McKenzie yet please? I submitted my WG about 11 days ago and haven’t heard anything yet - someone mentioned above it would be 2 weeks to hear back post-WG.

    100%, I’d prepped and done all the practice tests online I could find at least twice, and it was still not enough. I really wish we knew when we would expect to hear back re the next stage or the result. It was a lot less maths oriented than all the practice tests as well, I was expecting...

    Thank you but honestly, I think it would’ve been better to have focused on quality over quantity, I messed up the very last one as my time ran out 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Hi - could anyone please help - I’m struggling to figure out how I should explain that my extenuating circumstances and disability combined hugely impacted my capacity before and during two sets of my university exams? I don’t have a concession for those results, as I wasn’t aware that was an...

    Day 30 without a response from Trowers, I may pack up and move into the lobby of their office 😅

    I haven’t seen anyone in London get an AC offer here or in real life as I know a good few applicants in this cycle from the evening/ open day, and I know the London team changed their manager. I imagine this has completely caused chaos internally as another team member had to step into that...

    London, how about you? I haven’t received any further info yet - I was really hopeful as they’d selected me for the open day and a meet the firm evening event that I’d get an invite to AC w this one. Crossed fingers it still might happen!

    Anyone else confused how Trowers is going to tell everyone by some unforeseen date in September and then also get the golden few to an unspecified date AC in September? I’m worried if selected for an AC I’d need to book leave from work and we have to do that well in advance 😭

    I almost would’ve preferred a PFO because now I’ll keep hoping that they’ll choose me and when they don’t, it’ll hit harder 😭
