TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
I would say apply anyways. 64% is a solid grade and I will say it is certainly more about the quality of your application. Mention your mitigating circumstance if you need to. If this is a firm that you genuinely want to go to, why count yourself out? You won't know what the outcome will be if...- RANDOTRON

I would assume your employer means by the end of business day on 10 November, which will typically be 5:00pm. However, as @kokothemagicdragon said, you should send those documents in as early as you can, rather than leave it to the last minute.- RANDOTRON

Structured finance is an umbrella term covering a wide range of products, like securitisation (which itself is an umbrella term) and syndicated loans. Structured finance is used when the scale of the borrower's financial needs cannot be met by traditional methods of financing (i.e., ordinary...- RANDOTRON

CC 400 Words
Just because the word limit is 400 doesn't mean you have to write to the full word limit to have a good answer and you shouldn't base whether your answer is worth submitting or not based on the word limit. It's more about quality than quantity here. If I was writing an answer to this question, I...- RANDOTRON

I can recommend sources in addition to those posted by previous repliers, but it depends on how much you want to learn about private equity. Are you looking to develop a general understanding of the subject area or dive into the in-depth practical aspects of the subject?- RANDOTRON

Oh, sorry about that! I misunderstood! Yes, I think journalling is absolutely fine as well. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter what you choose to write about for your passion – it is far more important in how you write about it (i.e., why you enjoy it, what are the skills you took...- RANDOTRON

I personally think journalism and your reasons for liking it are fine. The only thing I'd caution against when writing your answer is writing it in such a way that basically leads the assessor to question your motivation for law. In other words, if you are so passionate about journalism, why not...- RANDOTRON

AC business strategy case studies - how to prepare?
Hoping I'm not too late, but from what I saw on other forums, the general consensus seem to be that the ACs are difficult to practice for. Full disclosure, I never did ACs for VS at DLA or Slaughter, so I'm not sure if you're working in a group or individually or what exactly you'll be doing. I...- RANDOTRON

International Students from a Non-RG University
No problem! I understand how you feel as I felt that way too but you have to remember that (a) not everyone has a LinkedIn profile, (b) not everyone who gets a TC will post about it, and (c) just because a firm used to recruit more from RG doesn't mean that they still do. In my opinion...- RANDOTRON

Hi there! First of all, do not lose hope!
