Heyy how much experience do you need to apply for a direct TC for a competitive application? I understand the more the better especially at large international firms but for those that are smaller and still open, how much experience do you need? Would appreciate peoples’ thoughts on this )
just trying to gauge whether it’s worth the effort or not haha
