TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

Ince VI!

Hey when did you apply? Is this for 2023 direct TC?

 

[Khassineboy]

Hi all. I applied to Stephenson Harwood for the direct TC starting in 2024 in mid-December but haven't heard anything yet. The email did clearly say that they would get back to me.

Should I email them again or just wait? The deadline isn't until June or July (can't remember).

Cheers!

Has anyone previously applied for Penningtons for a direct TC and was actually successful or got through to the final stages? I know they prefer recruiting from their vac schemers but I missed that deadline!

Has anyone heard back from Freshfields post WG?

 

[ellebells]

I received an AC invite on Friday for London.

ah right, thank you. I should probably expect a PFO then haha

Anyone heard back from CC yet? I know they said they'd probably start ringing people this week.

Saw one person on the vac scheme thread. Still haven't heard back either.

How many TCs are people applying to on average?

 

[Abii]

How many TCs are people applying to on average?

I don't think there will be an average, some people take the apply to as many as possible approach, others are more selective or have more time constraints so cannot apply to as many. I've applied to 7 in the last 18 months because I work full time, study part time, and I am only applying to firms with strengths in a particular sector.

I dont think they send out email PFO. I remember last year they din't send me a PFO for Direct TC application.
