[QUOTE="trainee2025, post: 173541, member: 8482"] I would echo what [USER=34061]@isTeapp[/USER] said but I’d advise checking the requirements for each firm carefully before spending a long time on an application. For example, some firms say things like ‘we welcome direct applications from those with prior legal experience’ or ‘those who cannot complete a VS due to work or childcare commitments’ and things. Others advertise a direct TC route but basically don’t recruit though it (TCLA has a useful list for this). On the flip side, some firms (US with smaller London offices mainly) don’t even run a VS so the direct TC application in the summer is the route in. All things you can find out before dedicating too much time to it! Also, summer direct TC windows and the winter VS window are typically regarded as separate application ‘years,’ so I wouldn’t regard that as a deterrent. You can apply for direct TCs without compromising your chances for winter VS I’m sure (in fact it might be good practice). [/QUOTE]
