    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Thank you @Jessica Booker @AvniD and @Penelope It is reassuring to know I am not the only person to do this! I guess I just need to focus on the positive elements, be proud of the fact I made it this far through the process and wait for the outcome and feedback! I think part of me is also...

    Hi All, does anyone have any advice on how to not dwell on an interview after it has occurred. I've just had my first TC interview and it was for my top choice firm (I know I shouldn't have a favourite already as I'm setting myself up for heartbreak). I can't stop thinking about how I could've...

    The next stage was written assessment - I don't know what follows. I don't know if invites are still going out, from responses from others on this forum WG invites were sent at different times, I'd reach out to grad rec for this information. The process hasn't followed what the grad rec brochure...

    Hi, have you heard anything further from Orrick post WG? I haven't heard anything since completion or from my email but I don't want to harass them and send a follow up as I know its a busy time for GR.

    This is such a personal thing, some people can handle it others can't. I worked 30-35 hours a week through out my LLB including third year and graduated with a very high 2:1 and got a first class average in third year. I also had a social life throughout as thats something thats very important...

    Don't be embarrassed at all. As much as LinkedIn makes it look like everyone gets an amazing TC offer or 5 in second year that isn't my or a lot of others reality, this cycle I've had 4 PFO's, 1 VI invite which I am expecting to be followed by a PFO as it was not my best or even a good...
