Hi everyone!

I'm Jacob, a PPE and Law graduate currently on the hunt for a vac scheme/TC. I've kept an eye on TCLA for a while and thought it was about time to join in and meet you. I have one vac scheme and a couple of workshops under my belt but I'm looking to develop and secure that ever elusive TC.

At the moment I work in a legal tech and resourcing startup so I have some experience of the business side of the sector if anyone wants to chat about that.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all - best of luck!

@jacobdarcy1997 welcome to the forum! How have you found your role at the startup so far?
Thank you for the welcome!

It's been really good thank you, we're a small team so I've had to learn on the job, quite exciting! We work with a lot of firms I'm applying for or considering, plenty of insights for sure!

Finding the forum super useful as well - thank you for helping to make it happen!
