Should I disclose a TC to firms?

[DisposeABowl]

I am a penultimate year student with a training contract from an MC first year programme. Is it desirable to disclose the training contract on my application work sections? If I have already submitted an application for a firm, should I notify them or only disclose when asked in an interview?

Presumably you haven't accepted the training contract offer?

As Jaysen has alluded to, there is a difference between being offered and having accepted an offer.

Plenty of First year offerees don’t have to accept their offer until mid September as they go into their final year of university. If it is the case you are holding that offer until September, then you can disclose it.

If you have accepted that offer, then technically you shouldn’t really be applying elsewhere (and should withdraw from other firms).

I have not accepted the offer and don't have to accept it until much later. I was mainly wondering whether firms may view it negatively if disclosed

Would only be looked at negatively if the firm was wildly different to the one you had secured your TC with (eg small, domestic niche firm vs exceptionally large, international full service firm).
