TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

My updates for 2025-26 (my second cycle applying)

- 48 applications​
- 13 progressed (11 post VI rejectionsđź’€; 2 missed VI deadlines)​
- 10 haven't heard back​
- 25 rejections​
- 1 virtual interview (yet to give - please pray for my sanity)​

The sunk-cost fallacy is so high. I have 6 more firms shortlisted, but should I lowkey just give up?
