    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Applying to firms is a lot like dating - just because they laugh at your jokes and flirt with you and maybe even have one-night stands with you, doesn't mean they're invested. Maybe they just enjoy the attention you're giving them. Attraction ≠ Intention ≠ Investment. Don't invest in someone who...

    Thank you! If I don't manage to get a TC, my backup plan is to call myself an 'occupational psychologist' and invent new ways to torture law firm applicants. Seems very lucrative.
