I knew someone who got a Tc offer after their winter scheme last year had a spring scheme (didn’t convert) had 2 summer schemes and convert the summer and took that tc offer.I’ve heard some firms don’t allow you to take a vs at another firm you accept an TC offer with them but many do. Also if you had a spring scheme got a tc off the back off that but had a summer scheme you can accept the spring tc offer and do the summer one as you hadn’t accepted a tc offer at the time of signing the contract for the summer scheme. There are many caveats.You could just accept a tc offer and continue applying for DTC that is allowed. Being barred from applying to firms whilst holding a training contract is subject to the firm and they’ll put these in their t’s & c’s but obviously you wouldn’t know until you get the offer. But it’s not a thing that you’re automatically barred. You can also just not tell them go about your day and do the vs whilst holding a tc. Many people do this so don’t feel bad. But feel bad if you know you’ll take the original tc and are just applying for the sake of it. I have nothing against the firm I hold a tc offer at. It has a niche and that niche isn’t for me I’m interested in a different area of law and I don’t want to be pigeonholed into an area of law I did not enjoy on my scheme. Many Of the trainees and associates stayed within the selected few firms that specialise in this area and I knew moving out would be a challenge I went with how I felt and that’s not to be stuck. This is ultimately you making a life decision at such a young age. Don’t  accept any tc because someone on a forum with a fake ass name told you to because they would. You like CC find other firms similar to that firm that you like and apply don’t  settle. Excuse any spelling or grammar I’m on a plane with very slow WiFi.</blockquote>
