    Hi All,

    We're going to be building our list of interview experiences for 2021 and I would love if this is something we could crowdsource to generous forum members, especially if you have benefited from an interview experience in the past.

    If you have had a recent interview (whether successful or not) and would like to contribute to our database of experiences, please drop me a private message. The only requirement is that the interview was in 2021. I will then send you to the form with a list of questions.

    Thank you!

    Jaysen

    Hi @Jaysen, @Jessica Booker, @Andrei Radu and @Amma Usman,

    I hope you’re all doing well, and Happy New Year! A big thank you to the TCLA team for the fantastic work you’ve done over the past year.

    I recently came across this thread and found it incredibly helpful. Would it be possible to set up a similar forum thread dedicated to interviews for the 2024–2025 cycle or the upcoming one? While I understand that the premium database already includes interview insights, having a centralized thread like this could be a valuable resource for users preparing for interviews.

    Thank you for considering this suggestion!​
