TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

[krizz312]

Hey! Has anyone who submitted the King & Spalding application earlier today received a confirmation of receipt email from their Recruitment Team yet?

 

[The-PFO-Collector]

Did you apply for the Summer Insight Day + DTC?

I haven't received anything, so perhaps it's not automatic...
It's one of my fav firms.
Best of Luck

Yeah, I did. They probably will do what most firms are doing and send out invites in batches so likely isn't automatic.

Do people get eliminated at this stage?

I think so:


Whichever route you choose to follow, the recruitment process and application deadlines are the same.

• Our online application is open from 1 October 2023 to 31 January 2024, and we will respond to all applications in the weeks following this deadline, to advise if your application has progressed to the online assessment.
• You will be required to complete an online interactive assessment and video interview in February 2024.
• For those who are successful in gaining a place on our insight scheme or assessment day, these will take place in June 2024.
• The assessment day will involve a number of activities, including a final panel interview.

I’m sorry, this application cycle has been so brutal. Wishing you success in your other applications

Can I ask where you're seeing those offers?

A user on the forum got an offer on Friday

Did they confirm that it was an offer and it was for the DTC? I understand that they posted that they "heard back", then deleted this post and quitted the forum

 

[RS Sanjanaa]

does anybody know when we can expect to hear back from Hogan Lovells?

I messaged them before they deleted, and they confirmed they got an offer for the DTC on Friday morning.

For anyone who applied to Greenberg Traurig and has not had a reply yet, does your candidate submission status also still say 'in progress'?

 

[needatccccc]

Same, when’s yours?

tomorrow!

My million dollar question!

Do you know if this was straight after the AC? I thought there was supposed to be another partner interview between the AC and formal offer?

Just curious because I have my AC on Thursday. I was just assuming that even if it went well i would still have at least one more round before getting an offer!

@bellini tagging you because I saw your post upthread and wondered if you had any insights?

If I remember correctly, the mentioned person had their AC on 13th February and received the offer last Friday. If you have applied for the DTC, the AC is the final stage before the offer.

Do you have the DTC AC with Freshfields on Thursday this week?

Sorry I’m such a muppet. Someone was talking about Fieldfisher upthread and I got my FF’s confused.

Apologies.

 

[Tintin06]

A question about a few firms - when did people hear last year?

From Hogan Lovells post-Watson Glaser test; from King & Spalding post-application; from Fried Frank after applying there; after applying to Paul Hastings TC; from White & Case post-TC app?

Thank you so much in advance.

 

[norothrow324]

Anyone heard anything from Stephenson Harwood / Mayer brown?

 

[TCpleasex]

Nothing like getting off a 14 hour flight with no WiFi to see I got the HD test invite!!! Tbh wasn’t expecting to hear for a while so great start to the holiday!!
